Massive star clusters in galaxies.
The ensemble of all star clusters in a galaxy constitutes its star cluster system. In this review, the focus of the discussion is on the ability of star clusters, particularly the systems of old massive globular clusters (GCs), to mark the early evolutionary history of galaxies. I review current themes and key findings in GC research, and highlight some of the outstanding questions that are eme...
متن کاملMassive star clusters in dwarf starburst galaxies
I will discuss the presence of massive star clusters in starburst galaxies with an emphasis on low mass galaxies outside the local group. I will show that such galaxies, with respect to their mass and luminosity, may be very rich in young luminous clusters.
متن کاملYoung massive star clusters in nearby galaxies ⋆
1 A detailed description is given of the data analysis leading to the discovery of young massive star clusters (YMCs) in a sample of 21 nearby galaxies. A new useful tool, ishape, for the derivation of intrinsic shape parameters of compact objects is presented, and some test results are shown. Completeness tests for the cluster samples are discussed, and ishape is used to estimate cluster sizes...
متن کاملWinds Driven by Massive Star Clusters
Here I discuss the X-ray emission resulting from the interaction of star cluster winds with the surrounding medium. I demonstrate that X-ray emission from the free wind region dominates the total bubble X-ray luminosity if the central star cluster is sufficiently young, massive and compact. I also prove that strong radiative cooling is a crucial ingredient which defines the physical properties ...
متن کاملYoung massive star clusters: Achievements and challenges
In spite of significant recent and ongoing research efforts, most of the early evolution and long-term fate of young massive star clusters remain clouded in uncertainties. Here, I discuss our understanding of the initial conditions of star cluster formation and the importance of initial substructure for the subsequent dynamical-evolution and mass-segregation timescales. I also assess our curren...
