The impact of the metallicity and star formation rate on the time-dependent galaxy-wide stellar initial mass function

T. Jerabkova, A. H. Zonoozi, P. Kroupa +4

The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is commonly assumed to be an invariant probability density distribution function of initial stellar masses being represented by the canonica…

The ESO Multi-Instrument Kinematic Survey (MIKiS) of Galactic Globular Clusters: solid body rotation and anomalous velocity dispersion profile in NGC 5986

B. Lanzoni, F. R. Ferraro, A. Mucciarelli +11

As part of the ESO-VLT Multi-Instrument Kinematic Survey (MIKiS) of Galactic globular clusters, we present a detailed investigation of the internal kinematics of NGC 5986. The anal…

The Hubble Space Telescope UV Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters - XV. The dynamical clock: reading cluster dynamical evolution from the segregation level of blue straggler stars

F. R. Ferraro, B. Lanzoni, S. Raso +17

The parameter A+, defined as the area enclosed between the cumulative radial distribution of blue straggler stars (BSSs) and that of a reference population, is a powerful indicator…

Alone on a wide wide sea. The origin of SECCO 1, an isolated star-forming gas cloud in the Virgo cluster

M. Bellazzini, L. Armillotta, S. Perina +12

SECCO1 is an extremely dark, low-mass (M_star=10^5 M_sun), star-forming stellar system lying in the Low Velocity Cloud (LVC) substructure of the Virgo cluster of galaxies, and host…

Evidence for feedback and stellar-dynamically regulated bursty star cluster formation: the case of the Orion Nebula Cluster

Pavel Kroupa, Tereza Jerabkova, František Dinnbier +2

(abridged) A scenario for the formation of multiple co-eval populations separated in age by about 1 Myr in very young clusters (VYCs, ages less than 10 Myr) and with masses in the…
