Massive binary stars and the kinematics of Young Massive Clusters [PDF]
, 2013 Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, R136 is a rare example of a nearby young and dense massive star cluster in which individual stars can be resolved. Often suggested as a globular cluster in formation, its study is of great interest and promises to provide insights into the early dynamical evolution of massive star clusters.

Young and intermediate-age massive star clusters [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2010 An overview of our current understanding of the formation and evolution of star clusters is given, with the 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 years and, depending on the efficiency of star formation, the clusters may

Young, Massive Star Clusters in the Antennae [PDF]
, 2008 While massive star clusters have been detected in almost every galaxy with appreciable star formation, they are most prevalent in interacting and merging galaxies. As many as 95% of these clusters will ultimately be disrupted, often in the first 10 Myr, but those clusters that do survive may be the progenitors of globular clusters.

Extremely massive young clusters in NGC 1365 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2008 In a previous work, three bright MIR/radio sources were discovered in the nuclear region of NGC1365. We here confirm that these sources are young and massive ``embedded'' clusters, and derive their parameters, such as extinction, age and mass. Using ISAAC and VISIR at the VLT we obtained NIR and MIR maps and LR spectra. The dataset is first interpreted

Young massive star clusters: achievements and challenges [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 AbstractIn 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. Here, I discuss our understanding of the initial conditions of star cluster formation and the importance of initial substructure for the subsequent dynamical-evolution and ...

Massive stars in young VVV clusters [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2016 The role of massive stars in the Galactic evolution is crucial. During their lifetime these stars change the kinematics around them through stellar winds, affect the formation of new stars, ionise and chemically enrich the media with the final supernova explosion. But the census of both massive stars and their host clusters is still poor.

Modelling and observations of molecules in discs around young stars [PDF]
, 2013 This thesis contains a study of molecules within circumstellar discs around young stars. Firstly, the chemistry of a disc around a young, Class 0 protostar is modelled.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 A primary new capability of JWST is the ability to penetrate the dust in star-forming galaxies to identify and study the properties of young star clusters that remain embedded in dust and gas. In this Letter we combine new infrared images taken with JWST

A Tale of Three Dwarfs: No Extreme Cluster Formation in Extreme Star-forming Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Nearly all current simulations predict that outcomes of the star formation process, such as the fraction of stars that form in bound clusters (Γ), depend on the intensity of star formation activity (Σ _SFR ) in the host galaxy.
