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…
A Comparison of Optical and Near-Infrared Colours of Magellanic Cloud Star Clusters with Predictions of Simple Stellar Population Models
P. M. Pessev, P. Goudfrooij, T. H. Puzia +1
We present integrated JHK_s 2MASS photometry and a compilation of integrated-light optical photoelectric measurements for 84 star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. These clusters…
Towards a calibration of SSP models from the optical to the mid-infrared
P. Pessev, P. Goudfrooij, T. Puzia +1
Our knowledge about unresolved stellar systems comes from comparing integrated-light properties to SSP models. Therefore it is crucial to calibrate the latter as well as possible b…
Star Cluster Demographics. I. A General Framework and Application to the Antennae Galaxies
Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar, S. Michael Fall
We present a framework for understanding the demographics of star cluster systems, and develop a toy model which incorporates a universal initial power law mass function, selected…
Connection between the Age Distributions of Star Clusters and Field Stars: A First Application to the Small Magellanic Cloud
Rupali Chandar, S. Michael Fall, Bradley C. Whitmore
We present the age distributions for star clusters and individual stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) based on data from the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey by Zaritsky…
A Database of 2MASS Near-Infrared Colors of Magellanic Cloud Star Clusters
Peter M. Pessev, Paul Goudfrooij, Thomas H. Puzia +1
The (rest-frame) near-IR domain contains important stellar population diagnostics and is often used to estimate masses of galaxies at low as well as high redshifts. However, many s…
