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 ...

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

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.

PHANGS–JWST First Results: Massive Young Star Clusters and New Insights from JWST Observations of NGC 1365

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

Multi-Color Observations of Young Star Clusters [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 2005
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.

Clustering Properties of Intermediate and High-mass Young Stellar Objects

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We have selected 337 intermediate- and high-mass young stellar objects (YSOs; 1.5–20 M _⊙ ) well-characterized with spectroscopy. By means of the clustering algorithm HDBSCAN, we study their clustering and association properties in the Gaia DR3 catalog ...

Young Star Clusters in M 31 [PDF]

, 2008
In our study of M31's globular cluster system with MMT/Hectospec, we have obtained high-quality spectra of 85 clusters with ages less than 1 Gyr. With the exception of Hubble V, the young cluster in NGC 205, we find that these young clusters have kinematics and spatial distribution consistent with membership in M31's young disk.

JWST/NIRCam Probes Young Star Clusters in the Reionization Era Sunrise Arc

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Star cluster formation in the early universe and its contribution to reionization remains largely unconstrained to date. Here we present JWST/NIRCam imaging of the most highly magnified galaxy known at z ∼ 6, the Sunrise arc.

PHANGS–JWST First Results: Dust-embedded Star Clusters in NGC 7496 Selected via 3.3 μm PAH Emission

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The earliest stages of star formation occur enshrouded in dust and are not observable in the optical. Here we leverage the extraordinary new high-resolution infrared imaging from JWST to begin the study of dust-embedded star clusters in nearby galaxies ...
