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

Comparing Young Massive Clusters and their Progenitor Clouds in the Milky Way [PDF]
, 2016 Young massive clusters (YMCs) have central stellar mass surface densities exceeding $10^{4} M_{\odot} pc^{-2}$. It is currently unknown whether the stars formed at such high (proto)stellar densities.

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.

Rotation in young massive star clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 Hydrodynamical simulations of turbulent molecular clouds show that star clusters form from the hierarchical merger of several sub-clumps. We run smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations of turbulence-supported molecular clouds with mass ranging from 1700 to 43000 Msun. We study the kinematic evolution of the main cluster that forms in each cloud. We

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.

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

Searching for GC-like abundance patterns in young massive clusters [PDF]
, 2016 Studies during the last decade have revealed that nearly all Globular Clusters (GCs) host multiple populations (MPs) of stars with a distinctive chemical patterns in light elements. No evidence of such MPs has been found so far in lower-mass ($ 10^5$ M$_{

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 ...
