Deep near-infrared imaging of W3 Main: constraints on stellar cluster formation
A. Bik, A. Stolte, M. Gennaro +10
Embedded clusters like W3 Main are complex and dynamically evolving systems that represent an important phase of the star formation process. We aim at the characterization of the e…
Instantaneous starburst of the massive clusters Westerlund 1 and NGC 3603 YC
Natalia Kudryavtseva, Wolfgang Brandner, Mario Gennaro +9
We present a new method to determine the age spread of resolved stellar populations in a starburst cluster. The method relies on a two-step process. In the first step, kinematic me…
Multiple episodes of star formation in the CN15/16/17 molecular complex
M. Gennaro, A. Bik, W. Brandner +9
We have started a campaign to identify massive star clusters inside bright molecular bubbles towards the Galactic Center. The CN15/16/17 molecular complex is the first example of o…
The Massive Stellar Population in the Young Association LH 95 in the LMC
N. Da Rio, D. Gouliermis, B. Rochau +3
We present a spectroscopic study of the most massive stars in the young (4 Myr old) stellar cluster LH 95 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This analysis allows us to complete the cen…
A benchmark for multi-conjugated AO: VLT-MAD observations of the young massive cluster Trumpler 14
B. Rochau, W. Brandner, A. Stolte +6
MAD is the first multi-conjugated adaptive optics system at the VLT. We present H and Ks observations of the young massive cluster Trumpler 14 revealing the power of MCAO systems b…
Dissecting high-mass star-forming regions; tracing back their complex formation history
Arjan Bik, Thomas Henning, Andrea Stolte +7
We present near-infrared JHKs imaging as well as K-band multi-object spectroscopy of the massive stellar content of W3 Main using LUCI at the LBT. We confirm 13 OB stars by their a…
