GLIMPSE-CO1: the most massive intermediate-age stellar cluster in the Galaxy
Ben Davies, Nate Bastian, Mark Gieles +3
The stellar cluster GLIMPSE-C01 is a dense stellar system located in the Galactic Plane. Though often referred to in the literature as an old globular cluster traversing the Galact…
The Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) Revisited: ACS and NICMOS Observations of a Prototypical Merger
Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar, Francois Schweizer +7
The ACS and NICMOS have been used to obtain new HST images of NGC 4038/4039 ("The Antennae"). These new observations allow us to better differentiate compact star clusters from ind…
Young star clusters in interacting galaxies - NGC 1487 and NGC 4038/4039
Sabine Mengel, Matthew D. Lehnert, Niranjan A. Thatte +3
We estimate the dynamical masses of several young (~10 Myr) massive star clusters in two interacting galaxies, NGC 4038/4039 ("The Antennae") and NGC 1487, under the assumption of…
NIR spectroscopy of the most massive open cluster in the Galaxy: Westerlund 1
S. Mengel, L. E. Tacconi-Garman
Using ISAAC/VLT, we have obtained individual spectra of all NIR-bright stars in the central 2'x2' of the cluster Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) with a resolution of R~9000 at a central wavele…
Cluster and nebular properties of the central star-forming region of NGC 1140
S. L. Moll, S. Mengel, R. de Grijs +2
We present new high spatial resolution HST/ACS imaging of NGC 1140 and high spectral resolution VLT/UVES spectroscopy of its central star-forming region. The central region contain…
Medium resolution 2.3 micron spectroscopy of the massive Galactic open cluster Westerlund 1
Sabine Mengel, Lowell E. Tacconi-Garman
The Galactic open cluster Westerlund 1 was found only a few years ago to be much more massive than previously thought, with evidence suggesting its mass to be in excess of ~10^5 Ms…
