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

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

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}_\

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Mrk 71 is a low-metallicity ( Z = 0.16 Z _☉ ) starburst region in the local dwarf galaxy NGC 2366, hosting two super star clusters (SSCs A and B), and it is recognized as a Green Pea (GP) analog with SSC A responsible for the GP properties.

Massive White Dwarfs in Young Star Clusters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract We have carried out a search for massive white dwarfs (WDs) in the direction of young open star clusters using the Gaia DR2 database. The aim of this survey was (1) to provide robust data for new and previously known high-mass WDs regarding cluster membership, (2) to highlight WDs previously included in the initial final mass ...

From the Top Down and Back Up Again: Star Cluster Structure from Hierarchical Star Formation [PDF]
, 2018 Young massive star clusters spanning $\sim 10^4 - 10^8 M_\odot$ in mass have been observed to have similar surface brightness profiles. Recent hydrodynamical simulations of star cluster formation have also produced star clusters with this structure.

Universal Upper End of the Stellar Initial Mass Function in the Young and Compact LEGUS Clusters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate the variation in the upper end of the stellar initial mass function (uIMF) in 375 young and compact star clusters in five nearby galaxies within ∼5 Mpc. All the young stellar clusters (YSCs) in the sample have ages ≲ 4 Myr and masses above

, 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 ...
