HOW TO FIND YOUNG MASSIVE CLUSTER PROGENITORS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 We propose that bound, young massive stellar clusters form from dense clouds that have escape speeds greater than the sound speed in photo-ionized gas. In these clumps, radiative feedback in the form of gas ionization is bottled up, enabling star formation to proceed to sufficiently high efficiency so that the resulting star cluster remains bound even ...

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

Property of young massive clusters in a galaxy–galaxy merger remnant [PDF]
Nippon Tenmon Gakkai obun kenkyu hokoku, 2018 We investigate the properties of young massive clusters (YMCs) in a galaxy-galaxy merger remnant by analyzing the data obtained by a gas rich major merger simulations in Matsui et al. 2012. We found that the YMCs are distributed at a few $\rm kpc$ and at

Massive stars in the young cluster VVV CL074 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 Context. The evolution of massive stars is not fully constrained. Studies of young massive clusters hosting various populations of massive stars can help refine our understanding of the life and fate of massive stars. Aims. In this context, our goal is to study the massive stellar content of the young massive cluster VVV CL074. Methods.

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.

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).

Binary Black Hole Mergers from Young Massive and Open Clusters: Comparison to GWTC-2 Gravitational Wave Data [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 Several astrophysical scenarios have been proposed to explain the origin of the population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected in gravitational waves by the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration.

A high fraction of Be stars in young massive clusters: evidence for a large population of near-critically rotating stars [PDF]
, 2016 Recent photometric analysis of the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of young massive clusters (YMCs) have found evidence for splitting in the main sequence and extended main sequence turn-offs, both of which have been suggested to be caused by stellar ...

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 ...

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.
