Young massive star clusters in M 51
A search for young massive star clusters (YMCs) in the nearby face-on spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) has been carried out using UBV CCD images from the prime focus camera on the Lick 3 meter Shane telescope. The YMC population is found to be quite rich with a specific U -band luminosity TL(U) ∼ 1.4, consistent with the high current star formation rate of this galaxy. The brightest clusters have M...
متن کاملA Catalog of Bright Star Clusters in the Interacting Galaxy M 51 ∗
We present a catalog of star clusters with VF555W < 23 mag detected in the interacting spiral galaxy M51 system based on the mosaic images taken with HST ACS by the Hubble Heritage Team. We have selected about 3,600 clusters based on their morphological information through the visual inspection. The final star cluster catalog includes 2,224 clusters that are relatively well isolated and have a ...

متن کاملEmbedded Star Clusters in the W 51 Giant Molecular Cloud
We present sub-arcsecond (0.35-0.9), near-infrared J,H,K band photometric observations of six fields along the W51 Giant Molecular Cloud (W51 GMC). Our observations reveal four new, embedded clusters and provide a new high-resolution (0.35) view of the W51IRS2 (G49.5-0.4) region. The cluster associated with G48.9-0.3 is found to be a double cluster enclosed in a nest of near-infrared nebulosity...
متن کاملScaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
