, 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 ...

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$_{

Young Massive Clusters: Their Population Properties, Formation and Evolution, and Their Relation to the Ancient Globular Clusters [PDF]
, 2016 This review summarises the main properties of Young Massive Clusters (YMCs), including their population properties, particularly focusing on extragalactic cluster samples.

Demographics of Neutron Stars in Young Massive and Open Clusters [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2020 Star clusters appear to be the ideal environment for the assembly of neutron star–neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole–neutron star (BH–NS) binaries.

GOALS-JWST: Revealing the Buried Star Clusters in the Luminous Infrared Galaxy VV 114
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present the results of a James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam investigation into the young massive star cluster (YMC) population in the luminous infrared galaxy VV 114.

On the possible generation of the young massive open clusters Stephenson2 and BDSB122 by Omega Centauri [PDF]
, 2009 A massive objects such as a globular cluster passing through the disk of a galaxy can trigger star formation. We test the hypothesis that the most massive globular cluster in the Galaxy, $\omega$ Centauri, which crossed the disk approximately $24\pm2 ...

Gas expulsion versus gas retention: what process dominates in young massive clusters? [PDF]
, 2016 The ability of young stellar clusters to expel or retain the gas left over after a first episode of star formation is a central issue in all models aiming to explain multiple stellar populations and the peculiar light element abundance patterns in ...

Intermediate mass black hole formation in compact young massive star clusters [PDF]
, 2020 Young dense massive star clusters are a promising environment for the formation of intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) through collisions. We present a set of 80 simulations carried out with Nbody6++GPU of 10 initial conditions for compact $\sim 7 ...

, 2003 We have used previously published observations of the CO emission from the Antennae (NGC 4038/39) to study the detailed properties of the super giant molecular complexes with the goal of understanding the formation of young massive star clusters.

An HST/WFPC2 Survey of Bright Young Clusters in M31 III. Structural Parameters [PDF]
, 2009 Surface brightness profiles for 23 M31 star clusters were measured using images from the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 on the Hubble Space Telescope, and fit to two types of models to determine the clusters' structural properties.
