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...
On 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...
On 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...
On 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...
On 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...
Open 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...
Optical Properties of the Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Holmberg IX X-1 and Its Stellar Environment
Holmberg IX X-1 is an archetypal ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX). Here we study the properties of the optical counterpart and of its stellar environment using...
PHANGS-HST Catalogs for ∼100,000 Star Clusters and Compact Associations in 38 Galaxies. I. Observed Properties
We present the largest catalog to date of star clusters and compact associations in nearby galaxies. We have performed a V-band-selected census of clusters...
PHANGS-HST Catalogs for ∼100,000 Star Clusters and Compact Associations in 38 Galaxies. II. Physical Properties from Decision-tree-based Spectral Energy Distribution Fitting of NUV-U-B-V-I Photometry with Categorical Priors Set by Hα Emission, Cluster Mor
This paper is the second in a series presenting the catalogs and properties of the largest sample to date of ∼100,000 star clusters and compact associations, in...
