Early dynamical evolution of star cluster systems [PDF]
Violent relaxation -- the protocluster dynamical response to the expulsion of its residual star forming gas -- is a short albeit crucial episode in the evolution of star clusters and star cluster systems. Because it is heavily driven by cluster formation

The stellar content of the super star clusters in NGC 1569 [PDF]
We discuss HST FOS ultraviolet spectroscopy and NICMOS near-infrared photometry of four young super star clusters in the central region of the irregular starburst galaxy NGC 1569. The new observations coupled with previous HST WFPC2 photometry and ground-

The young Galactic star cluster [DBS2003] 179 [PDF]
Recent near- and mid-infrared surveys have brought evidence that the Milky Way continues to form massive clusters. We carry out a program to determine the basic physical properties of the new massive cluster candidate [DBS2003]179. Medium-resolution K-band spectra and deep near-infrared images of [DBS2003]179 were used to derive the spectral types of ...

A Tale of Three Dwarfs: No Extreme Cluster Formation in Extreme Star-forming Galaxies
Nearly all current simulations predict that outcomes of the star formation process, such as the fraction of stars that form in bound clusters (Γ), depend on the intensity of star formation activity (Σ _SFR ) in the host galaxy.

Variability of young massive stars in the Arches cluster [PDF]
AbstractWe present preliminary results of the first near-infrared variability study of the Arches cluster, using adaptive optics data from NIRI/Gemini and NACO/VLT. The goal is to discover eclipsing binaries in this young (2.5 ± 0.5 Myr), dense, massive cluster for which we will determine accurate fundamental parameters with subsequent spectroscopy ...

On the origin of the red excess in very young super star clusters: the case of SBS 0335-052E [PDF]
The spectral energy distribution analysis of very young unresolved star clusters challenges our understanding of the cluster formation process. Studies of resolved massive clusters in the Milky Way and in the nearby Magellanic Clouds show us that the ...

The X-Ray Binary-star Cluster Connection in Late-type Galaxies
We conduct one of the largest systematic investigations of bright X-ray binaries (XRBs) in both young star clusters and ancient globular clusters (GCs) using a sample of six nearby star-forming galaxies.

The young star cluster system of the Antennae galaxies [PDF]
The study of young star cluster (YSC) systems, preferentially in starburst and merging galaxies, has seen great interest in the recent past, as it provides important input to models of star formation. However, even some basic properties (like the luminosity function [LF]) of YSC systems are still under debate.

The initial properties of young star clusters in M83 [PDF]
ABSTRACT The initial sizes and masses of massive star clusters provide information about the cluster formation process and also determine how cluster populations are modified and destroyed, which have implications for using clusters as tracers of galaxy assembly.

From the Top Down and Back Up Again: Star Cluster Structure from Hierarchical Star Formation [PDF]
Young massive star clusters spanning $\sim 10^4 - 10^8 M_\odot$ in mass have been observed to have similar surface brightness profiles. Recent hydrodynamical simulations of star cluster formation have also produced star clusters with this structure.
