Spectroscopic analysis of newborn massive stars in SMC N81
F. Martins, D. Schaerer, M. Heydari-Malayeri
We present the first results of a spectroscopic study of young massive stars in the SMC High Excitation Blob N81. These stars have Mv values which are ~ 2 mag smaller than those of…
The youngest massive star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds
M. Heydari-Malayeri, V. Charmandaris, L. Deharveng +3
High resolution observations with HST have recently allowed us to resolve and study several very tight clusters of newly born massive stars in the Magellanic Clouds. Situated in an…
Compact star clusters of the LMC HII region N11C
M. Heydari-Malayeri, P. Royer, G. Rauw +1
Based on imaging and spectroscopy obtained at the ESO NTT telescope and using an efficient image analysis algorithm, we study the core of the LMC OB association LH13, particularly…
Very young massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, revealed by HST
M. Heydari-Malayeri, M. R. Rosa, H. Zinnecker +2
High spatial resolution imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope allowed us to resolve the compact HII, region N81 lying in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We show the presence of…
