Young massive star clusters [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 Young massive clusters are dense aggregates of young stars that form the fundamental building blocks of galaxies. Several examples exist in the Milky Way Galaxy and the Local Group, but they are particularly abundant in starburst and interacting galaxies.

Chemical Abundances of Young Massive Clusters in NGC 1313∗ [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Abstract We analyze spectroscopic observations of five young massive clusters (YMCs) in the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1313 to obtain detailed abundances from their integrated light. Our sample of YMCs was observed with the X-shooter spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope.

The early evolution of young massive clusters [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 Massive stars are predominantly born in stellar associations or clusters. Their radiation fields, stellar winds, and eventual supernovae have a strong impact on their local surroundings. A significant fraction of massive stars are observed to be so-called runaway stars, which travel through the galaxy at high speed.

Symmetry Breaking in Merging Binary Black Holes from Young Massive Clusters and Isolated Binaries [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Properties of the to-date observed binary black hole (BBH) merger events suggest a preference toward spin–orbit aligned mergers. Naturally, this has caused widespread interest and speculations regarding implications on various merger formation channels ...

Young and intermediate-age massive star clusters [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2009 An overview of our current understanding of the formation and evolution of star clusters is given, with main emphasis on high-mass clusters. Clusters form deeply embedded within dense clouds of molecular gas. Left-over gas is cleared within a few million

Young massive star clusters: Achievements and challenges [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 In spite of significant recent and ongoing research efforts, most of the early evolution and long-term fate of young massive star clusters remain clouded in uncertainties.

The spatial evolution of young massive clusters [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 International audience ; Context. Better understanding of star formation in clusters with high-mass stars requires rigorous dynamical and spatial analyses of star-forming regions.Aims. We seek to demonstrate that “INDICATE” is a powerful spatial analysis tool which when combined with kinematic data from Gaia DR2 can be used to probe star formation ...

How can young massive clusters reach their present-day sizes? [PDF]
, 2015 The classic question that how young massive star clusters attain their shapes and sizes, as we find them today, remains to be a challenge. Both observational and computational studies of star-forming massive molecular gas clouds infer that massive ...

Embedded Young Massive Star Clusters in the Antennae Merger [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract The properties of young massive clusters (YMCs) are key to understanding the star formation mechanism in starburst systems, especially mergers. We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array high-resolution (∼10 pc) continuum (100 and 345 GHz) data of YMCs in the overlap region of the Antennae galaxy.
