THE EVOLUTIONARY TRACKS OF YOUNG MASSIVE STAR CLUSTERS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 Stars mostly form in groups consisting of a few dozen to several ten thousand members. For 30 years, theoretical models provide a basic concept of how such star clusters form and develop: they originate from the gas and dust of collapsing molecular clouds.

THE FORMATION AND DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION OF YOUNG STAR CLUSTERS
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT Recent observations have revealed a variety of young star clusters, including embedded systems, young massive clusters, and associations. We study the formation and dynamical evolution of these clusters using a combination of simulations and theoretical models.

Universal Upper End of the Stellar Initial Mass Function in the Young and Compact LEGUS Clusters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We investigate the variation in the upper end of the stellar initial mass function (uIMF) in 375 young and compact star clusters in five nearby galaxies within ∼5 Mpc. All the young stellar clusters (YSCs) in the sample have ages ≲ 4 Myr and masses above

Variability of young massive stars in the Arches cluster [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010 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 ...

The Astronomical Journal, 2022 The public, all-sky surveys Gaia and TESS provide the ability to identify new young associations and determine their ages. These associations enable study of planetary evolution by providing new opportunities to discover young exoplanets.

Formation of Young Star Clusters [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 2005 AbstractTurbulence, self-gravity, and cooling convert most of the interstellar medium into cloudy structures that form stars. Turbulence compresses the gas into clouds directly and it moves pre-existing clouds around passively when there are multiple phases of temperature.

Young Star Clusters in the LMC [PDF]
Australian Journal of Physics, 1992 The young globular star clusters in the LMC offer us insights into the formation and early dynamical evolution of globular clusters which are unobtainable from the old globular clusters in our Galaxy. Because these young clusters are so young and populous, they provide an opportunity to measure the upper end of the initial mass function by direct means

Be stars in and around young clusters in the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, 1999 We present the results of a search for Be stars in six fields centered on the young clusters NGC 330 and NGC 346 in the SMC, and NGC 1818, NGC 1948, NGC 2004 and NGC 2100 in the LMC. Be stars were identified by differencing R band and narrow-band H$α$ CCD images.
