The expansion of massive young star clusters - observation meets theory

Susanne Pfalzner, Thomas Kaczmarek

Most stars form as part of a star cluster. The most massive clusters in the Milky Way exist in two groups - loose and compact clusters - with significantly different sizes at the e…

Reaction of Massive Clusters to Gas Expulsion - The cluster density dependence

Susanne Pfalzner, Thomas Kaczmarek

The expulsion of the unconverted gas at the end of the star formation process potentially leads to the expansion of the just formed stellar cluster and membership loss. The degree…

Modes of clustered star formation

S. Pfalzner, T. Kaczmarek, C. Olczak

The realization that most stars form in clusters, raises the question of whether star/planet formation are influenced by the cluster environment. The stellar density in the most pr…

The Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks in the Arches Cluster

C. Olczak, T. Kaczmarek, S. Harfst +2

Most stars form in a cluster environment. These stars are initially surrounded by discs from which potentially planetary systems form. Of all cluster environments starburst cluster…

Towards the field binary population: Influence of orbital decay on close binaries

Christina Korntreff, Thomas Kaczmarek, Susanne Pfalzner

Surveys of the binary populations in the solar neighbourhood have shown that the periods of G- and M-type stars are log-normally distributed. However, observations of young binary…

Dynamics in Young Star Clusters: From Planets to Massive Stars

C. Olczak, R. Spurzem, Th. Henning +4

The young star clusters we observe today are the building blocks of a new generation of stars and planets in our Galaxy and beyond. Despite their fundamental role we still lack kno…
