How can young massive clusters reach their present-day sizes? [PDF]
, 2016 Context. The classic question of how young massive star clusters attain the shapes and sizes, as we find them today, is still a difficult one. Both observational and computational studies of star-forming massive molecular gas clouds suggest that massive ...

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

, 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 ...

Massive Young Clusters in Nearby Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2001 We study the size distribution of massive young clusters (MYCs) and of the cavities around them. We discuss the existence of two cluster populations and we find evidences for molecular cloud confinement in the early stages of development.

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.

MUSE spectroscopic observations of the young massive cluster NGC 1850 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Context. The double cluster NGC 1850 in the Large Magellanic Cloud is the nearest young massive cluster of the Local Group with a mass similar to those of Galactic globular clusters. Recent studies have revealed an extended morphology of its main-sequence turn-off (MSTO), which can be interpreted as a spread in either age or internal rotation. In spite

Structure and rotation of young massive star clusters in a simulated dwarf starburst [PDF]
, 2020 We analyze the three-dimensional shapes and kinematics of the young star cluster population forming in a high-resolution GRIFFIN project simulation of a metal-poor dwarf galaxy starburst.

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
