Star Clusters in Local Group Galaxies – Impact of Environment on Their Evolution and Survival
Star clusters are found in ∼40% of the Local Group galaxies. Their properties are reviewed. The impact of galaxy environment on the evolution and survival of star clusters is discussed. Possible evidence for cluster formation triggered by galaxy interactions, gradients in cluster size, metallicity and stellar content with galactocentric radius and variations as a function of galaxy type are bri...
متن کاملStar formation in galaxies and star clusters
This thesis is devoted to star formation from galaxy-scales (≈ 10 000 pc) to sub-star cluster-scales (≈ 0.1 pc). I develop and test a new method to derive star formation histories of Galaxies from their star cluster content, in particular the most massive star clusters. This is followed by an application of this method to the Large Magellanic Cloud, where the results of this new method are conf...
متن کاملMassive 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 کاملStar Formation Histories of Local Group Dwarf Galaxies
40 galaxies are currently known as, or suspected to be LG members within a radius of 1.8 Mpc. 37 of these galaxies are dwarf galaxies with MB > −18.5 mag. I present a compilation of the star formation histories of dwarf irregulars, dwarf ellipticals, and dwarf spheroidals in the Local Group, and visualize their evolutionary histories through Hodge’s population boxes. The study of these star for...
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.
