Hierarchical Star Formation in M51: Star/Cluster Complexes
We report on a study of young star cluster complexes in the spiral galaxy M51. Recent studies have confirmed that star clusters do not form in isolation, but instead tend to form in larger groupings or complexes. We use HST broad and narrow band images (from both WFPC2 and ACS), along with BIMA-CO observations to study the properties and investigate the origin of these complexes. We find that t...
متن کاملStellar Populations of the Globular Cluster
The rst large-format CCD color-magnitude diagram (CMD) in the B and V passbands is presented for the Galactic globular cluster M53 (NGC 5024). The observations consist of 40 pairs of B and V CCD frames with FWHM <1 00 .2. These frames were used to produce color-magnitude data for more than 20000 stars from the tip of the red giant-branch (RGB) to about two magnitudes below the main-sequence tur...
متن کاملStellar, brown dwarf, and multiple star properties from hydrodynamical simulations of star cluster formation
We report the statistical properties of stars, brown dwarfs and multiple systems obtained from the largest hydrodynamical simulation of star cluster formation to date that resolves masses down to the opacity limit for fragmentation (a few Jupiter masses). The simulation is essentially identical to that of Bate, Bonnell & Bromm except that the initial molecular cloud is larger and more massive. ...
متن کاملThe maximum stellar mass, star-cluster formation and composite stellar populations
We demonstrate that the mass of the most massive star in a cluster correlates nontrivially with the cluster mass. A simple algorithm according to which a cluster is filled up with stars that are chosen randomly from the standard IMF but sorted with increasing mass yields an excellent description of the observational data. Algorithms based on random sampling from the IMF without sorted adding ar...
متن کاملSecondary Globular Cluster Populations
This study is motivated by two facts: 1. the formation of populous star cluster systems is widely observed to accompany violent star formation episodes in gas-rich galaxies as e.g. those triggered by strong interactions or merging. 2. The Globular Cluster (GC) systems of most but not all early-type galaxies show bimodal optical color distributions with fairly universal blue peaks and somewhat v...
