X-ray Binaries and Star Clusters in the Antennae: Optical Cluster Counterparts
Blagoy Rangelov, Rupali Chandar, Andrea Prestwich +1
We compare the locations of 82 X-ray binaries (XRBs) detected in the merging Antennae galaxies by Zezas et al., based on observations taken with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, with…
Evidence for Two Distinct Stellar Initial Mass Functions
Dennis Zaritsky, Janet E. Colucci, Peter M. Pessev +2
We present velocity dispersion measurements of 20 Local Group stellar clusters (7 < log(age [yrs]) < 10.2) from integrated light spectra and examine the evolution of the stellar ma…
Space-Based UV/Optical Wide-Field Imaging and Spectroscopy: Near-Field Cosmology and Galaxy Evolution Using Globular Clusters in Nearby Galaxies
Paul Goudfrooij, Jean Brodie, Rupali Chandar +7
Star formation plays a central role in the evolution of galaxies and of the Universe as a whole. Studies of star-forming regions in the local universe have shown that star formatio…
Similarities in Populations of Star Clusters
S. Michael Fall, Rupali Chandar
We compare the observed mass functions and age distributions of star clusters in six well-studied galaxies: the Milky Way, Magellanic Clouds, M83, M51, and Antennae. In combination…
The Resolved Stellar Population in 50 Regions of M83 from HST/WFC3 Early Release Science Observations
Hwihyun Kim, Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar +22
We present a multi-wavelength photometric study of ~15,000 resolved stars in the nearby spiral galaxy M83 (NGC5236, D=4.61Mpc) based on Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 o…
Analysing star cluster populations with stochastic models: the HST/WFC3 sample of clusters in M83
Morgan Fouesneau, Ariane Lançon, Rupali Chandar +1
The majority of clusters in the Universe have masses well below 10^5 Msun. Hence their integrated fluxes and colors can be affected by the random presence of a few bright stars int…
