Observational Evidence of the Merging of Filaments and Hub Formation in G083.097+03.270

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We uncover a hub–filament system correlated with massive young stellar associations in G083.097+03.270. Diagnosed with simultaneous ^12 CO, ^13 CO, and C ^18 O line observations, the region is found to host two distinct and elongated filaments having ...

Young Massive Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007
AbstractOver the past ten years, there has been a revolution in our understanding of massive young stellar clusters in the Galaxy. Initially, there were no known examples having masses >104, yet we now know that there are at least a half dozen such clusters in the Galaxy.

Infrared photometry of Young Massive Clusters in the starburst galaxy NGC 4214 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present the results of an infrared photometric survey performed with NICS@TNG in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 4214. We derived accurate integrated JK magnitudes of 10 young massive clusters and compared them with the already available Hubble Space ...

Multiwavelength Observations of Massive Stellar Cluster Candidates in the Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Galaxy appears to be richer in young, massive stellar clusters than previously known, due to advances in infrared surveys which have uncovered deeply embedded regions of star formation. Young, massive clusters can significantly impact the surrounding

Structural Properties of Massive Young Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2001
We have retrieved multicolor WFPC2/HST data from the STScI archive for 27 nearby Massive (>= 3x10^4 M_Sun) Young (< 20 Myr) star Clusters (MYCs). The data represents the most-complete-to-date sample of clearly resolved MYCs. We have analyzed their structural properties and have found that they can be classified as either Super Star Clusters (SSCs)

To Be or Not to Be: Alicante-8, a Cluster or Not?

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Recent surveys have uncovered new young massive clusters that host dozens of red supergiants (RSGs) near the inner Galaxy. However, many of them have still not been fully studied. Using Very Large Telescope/X-shooter near-infrared spectra, we present the

Massive Young Clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In the last decade we have come to realize that the traditional classification of stellar clusters into open and globular clusters cannot be easily extended beyond the realm of the Milky Way, and that even for our Galaxy it is not fully valid. The main failure of the traditional classification is the existence of Massive Young Clusters (MYCs), which ...

Chemical Abundances of Young Massive Clusters in NGC 1313∗

open access: yesThe 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.
