The spatial distribution of star and cluster formation in M51
R. A. Scheepmaker, H. J. G. L. M. Lamers, P. Anders +1
Aims. We study the connection between spatially resolved star formation and young star clusters across the disc of M51. Methods. We combine star cluster data based on B, V, and I-b…
ACS imaging of star clusters in M51 II. The luminosity function and mass function across the disk
M. R. Haas, M. Gieles, R. A. Scheepmaker +2
Whether or not there exists a physical upper mass limit for star clusters is still unclear. HST/ACS data for the rich cluster population in the interacting galaxy M51 enables us to…
A peculiar object in M51: fuzzy star cluster or a background galaxy?
R. A. Scheepmaker, H. J. G. L. M. Lamers, S. S. Larsen +1
Aims: We study a peculiar object with a projected position close to the nucleus of M51. It is unusually large for a star cluster in M51 and we therefore investigate the three most…
Hierarchical Star-Formation in M33: Fundamental properties of the star-forming regions
N. Bastian, B. Ercolano, M. Gieles +4
Star-formation within galaxies appears on multiple scales, from spiral structure, to OB associations, to individual star clusters, and often sub-structure within these clusters. Th…
ACS imaging of star clusters in M51. I. Identification and radius distribution
R. A. Scheepmaker, M. R. Haas, M. Gieles +3
We use HST/ACS observations of the spiral galaxy M51 in F435W, F555W and F814W to select a large sample of star clusters with accurate effective radius measurements in an area cove…
Variation of the cluster luminosity function across the disk of M51
M. R. Haas, M. Gieles, R. A. Scheepmaker +3
We study the luminosity function (LF) of the star clusters in M51. Comparing the observed LF with the LF resulting from artificial cluster populations suggests that there exists an…
