Constraining globular cluster formation through studies of young massive clusters – I. A lack of ongoing star formation within young clusters [PDF]
, 2013 We present a survey of 130 Galactic and extragalactic young massive clusters (YMCs, 10 4 < M/M⊙ < 10 8 , 10 < t/Myr < 1000) with integrated spectroscopy or resolved stellar photometry (40 presented here and 90 from the literature) and use the sample to ...

The Origin of OB Runaway Stars
, 2011 About 20% of all massive stars in the Milky Way have unusually high velocities, the origin of which has puzzled astronomers for half a century. We argue that these velocities originate from strong gravitational interactions between single stars and ...

Stellar-mass black holes in young massive and open stellar clusters and their role in gravitational-wave generation II [PDF]
, 2017 The study of stellar-remnant black holes (BH) in dense stellar clusters is now in the spotlight, especially due to their intrinsic ability to form binary black holes (BBH) through dynamical encounters, that potentially coalesce via gravitational-wave (GW)

, 2013 It is widely accepted that the distribution function of the masses of young star clusters is universal and can be purely interpreted as a probability density distribution function with a constant upper mass limit.

Star Cluster Evolution: From Young Massive Star Clusters to Old Globulars [PDF]
, 2009 Young, massive star clusters are the most notable and significant end products of violent star-forming episodes triggered by galaxy collisions, mergers, and close encounters. The question remains, however, whether or not at least a fraction of the compact YMCs seen in abundance in extragalactic starbursts, are potentially the progenitors of globular ...

Can Dust Injected by SNe Explain the NIR–MIR Excess in Young Massive Stellar Clusters? [PDF]
, 2017 We present a physically motivated model involving the different processes affecting supernova dust grains as they are incorporated into the thermalized medium within young massive star clusters. The model is used to explain the near- to mid-infrared (NIR–

Massive stars in the Cl 1813-178 Cluster. An episode of massive star formation in the W33 complex
, 2011 Young massive (M >10^4 Msun) stellar clusters are a good laboratory to study the evolution of massive stars. Only a dozen of such clusters are known in the Galaxy. Here we report about a new young massive stellar cluster in the Milky Way.

The Astrophysical JournalThe surface brightness profiles of globular clusters are conventionally described with the well-known King profile. However, observations of young massive clusters (YMCs) in the local Universe suggest that they are better fit by simple models with flat ...

Primordial alignment of elliptical galaxies in intermediate redshift clusters
, 2015 We measure primordial alignments for the red galaxies in the sample of eight massive galaxy clusters in the southern sky from the CLASH-VLT Large Programme, at a median redshift of 0.375.

ALMA-LEGUS. I. The Influence of Galaxy Morphology on Molecular Cloud Properties
The Astrophysical JournalWe present a comparative study of the molecular gas in two galaxies from the Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS) sample: barred spiral NGC 1313 and flocculent spiral NGC 7793.
