The Arches Cluster Mass Function
We have analyzed H and Ks–band images of the Arches cluster obtained using the NIRC2 instrument on Keck with the laser guide star adaptive optics (LGS AO) system. With the help of the LGS AO system, we were able to obtain the deepest ever photometry for this cluster and its neighborhood, and derive the background-subtracted present-day mass function (PDMF) down to 1.3M⊙ for the 5–9 annulus of t...
متن کاملSurvivability of a star cluster in a dispersing molecular cloud
Star clusters are formed in molecular clouds which are believed to be the birth places of most stars. From recent observational data, Lada & Lada (2003) estimated that only 4% to 7% of the clusters embedded inside molecular clouds have survived. An important mechanism for the disruption of embedded (bound)-clusters is the dispersion of the parent cloud by UV radiation, stellar winds and/or supe...
متن کاملX - ray properties of the distant cluster Cl 0016 + 16
We present X-ray data on the distant cluster Cl0016+16 (z=0.5545) from ROSAT PSPC and HRI observations and use them to study the physics of the intracluster medium (ICM) and the dynamical state of the cluster. The surface brightness distribution is not only described by a spherically symmetric model but also by a twodimensional β-model fit. Subtracting an elliptical model cluster as defined by ...
متن کاملPhotometry of the Arches Cluster near the Galactic Center
We present Near-IR photometry of the Arches cluster, a young and massive stellar cluster near the Galactic center. We have analyzed the high resolution (FWHM ∼ 0.2) H and K ′ band images in the Galactic Center Demonstration Science Data Set, which were obtained with the Gemini/Hokupa’s adaptive optics (AO) system. We present the color-magnitude diagram, the luminosity function and the initial m...
متن کاملThe massive star initial mass function of the Arches cluster
The massive Arches cluster near the Galactic center should be an ideal laboratory for investigating massive star formation under extreme conditions. But it comes at a high price: the cluster is hidden behind several tens of magnitudes of visual extinction. Severe crowding requires space or AO-assisted instruments to resolve the stellar populations, and even with the best instruments interpretin...
