Massive Star Clusters in the Semi-Analytical Galaxy Formation Model L-Galaxies 2020
Nils Hoyer, Silvia Bonoli, Nate Bastian +7
It is established that there exists a direct link between the formation history of star cluster populations and their host galaxies. However, our lack of understanding of the assem…
The Yasone catalogue: three new Milky Way satellites and 17 further hypercompact candidates
J. Untzaga, M. Mezcua, S. Bonoli +5
We present the discovery of three new low-latitude (|b| ~ 20) Milky Way satellites: Yasone-1, Yasone-2, and Yasone-3. They were identified in our search for compact stell…
Hubble Space Telescope proper motions of Large Magellanic Cloud star clusters -- II. Kinematic structure of young and intermediate-age clusters
F. Niederhofer, L. Cullinane, D. Massari +14
In this paper, we explore the kinematic properties of a sample of 19 young (<1 Gyr) and intermediate-age (1-2.5 Gyr) massive star clusters within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).…
Serendipitous Discovery of a Faint Planetary Nebula in the Massive Young LMC Cluster NGC 1866
Howard E. Bond, Nate Bastian, Andrea Bellini +5
During an integral-field spectroscopic study of stars in the massive young open cluster NGC 1866 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, we serendipitously discovered a faint planetary nebu…
Characterizing the star cluster populations in Stephan's Quintet using HST and JWST observations
P. Aromal, S. C. Gallagher, K. Fedotov +14
Stephan's Quintet (SQ) is a local compact galaxy group system that exhibits significant star formation activity. A history of tidal interactions between its four member galaxies an…
Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA) IV. Chrono-dynamics of seven old star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud and the peculiar origin of NGC 1841
F. Niederhofer, D. Massari, F. Aguado-Agelet +15
In this study, we report conclusive evidence for an ancient star cluster that has been accreted by the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). By leveraging observations from the Hubble Spac…
