Young massive star clusters: achievements and challenges [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 AbstractIn spite of significant recent and ongoing research efforts, most of the early evolution and long-term fate of young massive star clusters remain clouded in uncertainties. Here, I discuss our understanding of the initial conditions of star cluster formation and the importance of initial substructure for the subsequent dynamical-evolution and ...

STAR CLUSTERS IN M31. I. A CATALOG AND A STUDY OF THE YOUNG CLUSTERS [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2008 We present an updated catalog of 1300 objects in the field of M31, including 670 likely star clusters of various types, the rest being stars or background galaxies once thought to be clusters. The coordinates in the catalog are accurate to 02, and are based on images from the Local Group Survey (LGS) or from the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS).

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 ...

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 θfrom each star. We then fit \bar{N}(θ) with two simultaneous power laws.
