NGC 3603 - a Local Template for Massive Young Clusters [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2001 We present a study of the star cluster associated with the massive Galactic HII region NGC3603 based on near-IR broad-- and narrowband observations taken with ISAAC/VLT under excellent seeing conditions (

Constraining globular cluster formation through studies of young massive clusters - II. A single stellar population young massive cluster in NGC 34 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014 Currently there are two competing scenarios to explain the origin of the stellar population in globular clusters (GCs). The main difference between them is whether or not multiple events of star formation took place within GCs. In this paper we present the star formation history (SFH) of Cluster 1, a massive young cluster in NGC 34 $(\sim10^7\mbox{ M}_\

Rotation in young massive star clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 Hydrodynamical simulations of turbulent molecular clouds show that star clusters form from the hierarchical merger of several sub-clumps. We run smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations of turbulence-supported molecular clouds with mass ranging from 1700 to 43000 Msun. We study the kinematic evolution of the main cluster that forms in each cloud. We

A cosmic-ray loaded nascent outflow driven by a massive star cluster [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCosmic rays are widely held to drive outflows from star-forming galaxies and profoundly influence galaxy evolution. Direct evidence for cosmic-ray carrying outflows is however lacking.

The early evolution of young massive clusters. II. The kinematic history of NGC6618 / M17 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 The fraction of massive stars in young stellar clusters is of importance as they are the dominant sources of both mechanical and radiative feedback, strongly influencing the thermal and dynamical state of their birth environments.

Breaching the Limit: Formation of GW190521-like and IMBH Mergers in Young Massive Clusters [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 The LIGO-Virgo-Kagra Collaboration (LVC) discovered recently GW190521, a gravitational wave (GW) source associated with the merger between two black holes (BHs) with mass 66 and >85 M ⊙.

Formation and evolution of young massive clusters in galaxy mergers: the SMUGGLE view [PDF]
, 2021 Galaxy mergers are known to host abundant young massive cluster (YMC) populations, whose formation mechanism is still not well-understood. Here, we present a high-resolution galaxy merger simulation with explicit star formation and stellar feedback ...
