Observational constraints on star cluster formation theory - I. The mass-radius relation
S. Pfalzner, H. Kirk, A. Sills +5
Stars form predominantly in groups usually denoted as clusters or associations. The observed stellar groups display a broad spectrum of masses, sizes and other properties, so it is…
A not so massive cluster hosting a very massive star
S. Ramírez Alegría, A. -N. Chené, J. Borissova +4
We present the first physical characterization of the young open cluster VVV CL041. We spectroscopically observed the cluster main-sequence stellar population and a very-massive st…
No evidence for protoplanetary disk destruction by OB stars in the MYStIX sample
Alexander J. W. Richert, Eric D. Feigelson, Konstantin V. Getman +1
HST images of proplyds in the Orion Nebula, as well as submillimeter/radio measurements, show that the dominant O7 star Theta1 Ori C photoevaporates nearby disks around pre-main se…
The Spatial Structure of Young Stellar Clusters. III. Physical Properties and Evolutionary States
Michael A. Kuhn, Eric D. Feigelson, Konstantin V. Getman +3
We analyze the physical properties of stellar clusters that are detected in massive star-forming regions in the MYStIX project--a comparative, multiwavelength study of young stella…
The Spatial Structure of Young Stellar Clusters. II. Total Young Stellar Populations
Michael A. Kuhn, Konstantin V. Getman, Eric D. Feigelson
We investigate the intrinsic stellar populations (estimated total numbers of OB and pre-main-sequence stars down to 0.1 Mo) that are present in 17 massive star-forming regions (MSF…
