The nearby dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 5253 hosts a number of young, massive star clusters, the two youngest of which are centrally concentrated and surrounded...
The central region of M83: massive star formation, kinematics, and the location and origin of the nucleus
We report new near-IR integral field spectroscopy of the central starburst region of the barred spiral galaxy M83 obtained with Cambridge Infra-Red Panoramic...
The contribution to population in ellipticals of blue stragglers - A test of their origin
An observational test of the binary hypothesis for the origin of the blue straggler (BS) stars has been performed searching for radial velocity variables among...
The embedded cluster IRAS17136 - 3617 associated with the nebulosity GM24
Radio, infrared, and optical observations of the embedded infrared cluster IRAS17136 - 3617 are reviewed. The cluster consists of more than 25 stars with a...
The First Billion Years project: Finding infant globular clusters at z = 6
Aims: We aim to conduct an assessment of the demographics of substructures in cosmological simulations to identify low-mass stellar systems at high redshift...
The formation of super-star clusters in disk and dwarf galaxies
Super-star clusters are probably the largest star-forming entities in our local Universe, containing hundreds of thousands to millions of young stars usually...
The Fornax 3D project: Globular clusters tracing kinematics and metallicities
Globular clusters (GCs) are found ubiquitously in massive galaxies and due to their old ages, they are regarded as fossil records of galaxy evolution...
The Fornax 3D project: Non-linear colour-metallicity relation of globular clusters
Globular cluster (GC) systems of massive galaxies often show a bimodal colour distribution. This has been interpreted as a metallicity bimodality, created by a...
