Rotation in young massive star clusters [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017
Hydrodynamical simulations of turbulent molecular clouds show that star clusters form from the hierarchical merger of several sub-clumps. We run smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations of turbulence-supported molecular clouds with mass ranging from 1700 to 43000 Msun. We study the kinematic evolution of the main cluster that forms in each cloud. We

THE FORMATION AND DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION OF YOUNG STAR CLUSTERS [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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.

Understanding the Planetary Formation and Evolution in Star Clusters (UPiC). I. Evidence of Hot Giant Exoplanets Formation Timescales

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Planets in young star clusters could shed light on planet formation and evolution since star clusters can provide accurate age estimation. However, the number of transiting planets detected in clusters was only ∼30, too small for statistical analysis ...

Massive stars in the young cluster VVV CL074 [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2019
Context. The evolution of massive stars is not fully constrained. Studies of young massive clusters hosting various populations of massive stars can help refine our understanding of the life and fate of massive stars. Aims. In this context, our goal is to study the massive stellar content of the young massive cluster VVV CL074. Methods.

Hierarchical structures in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We investigate the degree of spatial correlation among extended structures in the LMC and SMC. To this purpose we work with sub-samples characterised by different properties such as age and size, taken from the updated catalogue of Bica et al.

The Star Cluster System in the Local Group Starburst Galaxy IC 10

open access: yes, 2015
We present a survey of star clusters in the halo of IC 10, a starburst galaxy in the Local Group based on Subaru R band images and NOAO Local Group Survey UBVRI images. We find five new star clusters.

Age and mass studies for young star clusters in M31 from SEDs-fit

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper, we present photometry for young star clusters in M31, which are selected from Caldwell et al. These star clusters have been observed as part of the Beijing--Arizona--Taiwan--Connecticut (BATC) Multicolor Sky Survey from 1995 February to ...

Young Star Clusters in the LMC [PDF]

open access: yesAustralian 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
