Star clusters as tracers of galaxy evolution
Iraklis S Konstantopoulos
Star clusters represent the most common 'mode' of star formation. They are found in all types of environments, cascading down from galaxy groups and merging pairs through starburst…
Tidal Tails in Interacting Galaxies: Formation of Compact Stellar Structures
B. Mullan, J. C. Charlton, I. S. Konstantopoulos +17
We have used V- and I- band images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to identify compact stellar clusters within the tidal tails of twelve different interacting galaxies. The s…
The Optical Structure of the Starburst Galaxy M82. II. Nebular Properties of the Disk and Inner-Wind
M. S. Westmoquette, J. S. Gallagher, L. J. Smith +3
(Abridged) In this second paper of the series, we present the results from optical Gemini-North GMOS-IFU and WIYN DensePak IFU spectroscopic observations of the starburst and inner…
Gemini Spectroscopic Survey of Young Star Clusters in Merging/Interacting Galaxies. III. The Antennae
Nate Bastian, Gelys Trancho, Iraklis S. Konstantopoulos +1
We present optical spectroscopy of 16 star clusters in the merging galaxies NGC 4038/39 ("The Antennae") and supplement this dataset with HST imaging. The age and metallicity of ea…
A spectroscopic census of the M82 stellar cluster population
I. S. Konstantopoulos, N. Bastian, L. J. Smith +3
We present a spectroscopic study of the stellar cluster population of M82, the archetype starburst galaxy, based primarily on new Gemini-North multi-object spectroscopy of 49 star…
