Young massive star clusters in M51 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 A search for young massive star clusters (YMCs) in the nearby face-on spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) has been carried out using UBV CCD images from the prime focus camera on the Lick 3 meter Shane telescope. The YMC population is found to be quite rich with a specific U-band luminosity T_L(U) = 1.4, consistent with the high current star formation rate of

Multi-color observations of Young Star Clusters [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 2003 AbstractWe present a new set of evolutionary synthesis models of our GALEV code, specifically developed to include the gaseous emission of presently forming star clusters, in combination with an advanced tool to compare large model grids with multi-color broad-band observations of YSC systems. Tests and first applications are presented.

Star formation in young star cluster NGC 1893 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2007 We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of the star-forming region NGC 1893 to explore the effects of massive stars on low-mass star formation. Using near-infrared colours, slitless spectroscopy and narrow-band $H $ photometry in the cluster region we have identified candidate young stellar objects (YSOs) distributed in a pattern from the ...

Dust-buried Compact Sources in the Dwarf Galaxy NGC 4449
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Multiwavelength images from the Hubble Space Telescope covering the wavelength range 0.27–1.6 μ m show that the central area of the nearby dwarf galaxy NGC 4449 contains several tens of compact sources that are emitting in the hydrogen recombination line

Young Massive Star Clusters [PDF]
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 Young massive clusters (YMCs) are dense aggregates of young stars that form the fundamental building blocks of galaxies. Several examples exist in the Milky Way Galaxy and the Local Group, but they are particularly abundant in starburst and interacting galaxies.

Young Star Clusters in the LMC [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1991 We discuss the integrated colours, kinematics, formation, dynamical evolution and initial mass functions of the young globular star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Because these clusters are so young, they offer us insights, unobtainable from the old globular clusters in our Galaxy, into the formation and early dynamical evolution of ...

The structure of young star clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1999 We analyse and compare the clustering of young stars in Chamaeleon I and Taurus. We compute the mean surface-density of companion stars \bar{N} as a function of angular displacement from each star. We then fit \bar{N}( ) with two simultaneous power laws.

Be Stars in Young LMC Clusters [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994 Slitless field Hα spectroscopy with a resolution of 0.2 nm has detected numerous Be stars in 3 young open star clusters in the LMC but only a few each in one Galactic and one LMC cluster. The line widths indicate rapid rotation as is typical of Galactic field Be stars.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 A primary new capability of JWST is the ability to penetrate the dust in star-forming galaxies to identify and study the properties of young star clusters that remain embedded in dust and gas. In this Letter we combine new infrared images taken with JWST
