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 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...
متن کاملCosmological Models by the Cluster Mass Function
We present a comparison between two observational and three theoretical mass functions for eight cosmological models suggested by the data from recently completed BOOMERANG-98, MAXIMA-1 cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy experiments as well as peculiar velocities (PV) and Type Ia Supernovae (SN) observations. The cosmological models have been proposed as the best fit models by several...
متن کاملWmap5 and the Cluster Mass Function
The recently revised cosmological constraints from the Five-Year WMAP data ameliorate previous tension between cosmological constraints from the microwave background and from cluster abundances. We demonstrate that the revised estimates of cosmological parameters are in excellent agreement with the mass function of X-ray clusters in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Velocity segregation between gal...
متن کاملMetallicity in the Galactic Center: The Arches cluster
We present a quantitative spectral analysis of five very massive stars in the Arches cluster, located near the Galactic center, to determine stellar parameters, stellar wind properties and, most importantly, metallicity content. The analysis uses a new technique, presented here for the first time, and uses line-blanketed NLTE wind/atmosphere models fit to high-resolution near-infrared spectra o...
