PublicationOn the Extreme Positive Feedback Star-forming Mode from Massive and Compact Super Star Clusters
The force of gravity acting within the volume occupied by young, compact, and massive super star clusters is here shown to drive in situ all the matter...

PublicationOn the formation of globular cluster systems in a hierarchical Universe
We have investigated the formation of globular cluster (GC) systems in the fiducial semi-analytic model of galaxy formation of Cole et al., by assuming that GCs...

PublicationOn the Formation of Massive Stellar Clusters
Here we report on the properties of the star forming factory, in which the continuous creation of stars results into a highly concentrated, massive (globular...

PublicationOn the Heating Efficiency Derived from Observations of Young Super Star Clusters in M82
Here, we discuss the mechanical feedback that massive stellar clusters provide to the interstellar medium of their host galaxy. We apply an analytic theory...

PublicationOn the origin of the compact H ii regions around massive stellar clusters
The existence of compact H ii regions around massive stellar clusters with ages exceeding several Myr challenges our understanding of the physical processes...

PublicationOn the Origin of the HII Regions Associated with Massive and Compact Superstar Clusters
This contribution to the IV Korea-Mexico meeting deals with the hydrodynamics of the matter reinserted within super star clusters (SSCs) by both stellar winds...

PublicationOn the Star Formation Efficiencies and Evolution of Multiple Stellar Generations in Globular Clusters
By adopting empirical estimates of the helium enhancement (ΔY) between consecutive stellar generations for a sample of Galactic globular clusters (GGCs), we...

PublicationOpen Cluster Chemical Homogeneity throughout the Milky Way
The chemical homogeneity of surviving stellar clusters contains important clues about interstellar medium (ISM) mixing efficiency, star formation, and the...
