Proceedings 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.

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.

Discovery of Extended Main-sequence Turnoffs in Four Young Massive Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
, 2017 An increasing number of young massive clusters (YMCs) in the Magellanic Clouds have been found to exhibit bimodal or extended main sequences (MSs) in their color–magnitude diagrams (CMDs).

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 ...

Chemical abundances of two extragalactic young massive clusters [PDF]
, 2017 We use integrated-light spectroscopic observations to measure metallicities and chemical abundances for two extragalactic young massive star clusters (NGC1313-379 and NGC1705-1).

THE EVOLUTIONARY TRACKS OF YOUNG MASSIVE STAR CLUSTERS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 Stars mostly form in groups consisting of a few dozen to several ten thousand members. For 30 years, theoretical models provide a basic concept of how such star clusters form and develop: they originate from the gas and dust of collapsing molecular clouds.

Metallicities of Young Massive Clusters in NGC 5236 (M83) [PDF]
, 2017 We present integrated-light spectra of 8 Young Massive Clusters (YMCs) in the metal-rich spiral galaxy NGC 5236 (M 83). The observations were taken with the X-Shooter spectrograph on the ESO Very Large Telescope. Through the use of theoretical isochrones

Evidence for the Strong Effect of Gas Removal on the Internal Dynamics of Young Stellar Clusters [PDF]
, 2006 We present detailed luminosity profiles of the young massive clusters M82-F, NGC 1569-A, and NGC 1705-1 which show significant departures from equilibrium (King and EFF) profiles.

Stellar-mass black holes in young massive and open stellar clusters – IV. Updated stellar-evolutionary and black hole spin models and comparisons with the LIGO-Virgo O1/O2 merger-event data [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 I present a set of long-term, direct, relativistic many-body computations of model dense stellar clusters with up-to-date stellar-evolutionary, supernova (SN), and remnant natal-kick models, including pair instability and pulsation pair instability ...
