The spatial distribution of star and cluster formation in M51
R. A. Scheepmaker, H. J. G. L. M. Lamers, P. Anders +1
Aims. We study the connection between spatially resolved star formation and young star clusters across the disc of M51. Methods. We combine star cluster data based on B, V, and I-b…
Dynamical mass of a star cluster in M83: a test of fibre-fed multi-object spectroscopy
SL Moll, R de Grijs, P Anders +4
(Abridged) Aims: We obtained VLT/FLAMES+UVES high-resolution, fibre-fed spectroscopy (FFS) of five young massive clusters in M83 (NGC 5236). This forms the basis of a pilot study t…
Young Globular Clusters in an old S0: Clues to the Formation History of NGC 4570
Ralf Kotulla, Uta Fritze, Peter Anders
We here present our first attempt to use Globular Clusters as tracers of their parent galaxy's formation history. Globular Cluster Systems of most early-type galaxies feature two p…
A peculiar object in M51: fuzzy star cluster or a background galaxy?
R. A. Scheepmaker, H. J. G. L. M. Lamers, S. S. Larsen +1
Aims: We study a peculiar object with a projected position close to the nucleus of M51. It is unusually large for a star cluster in M51 and we therefore investigate the three most…
N-body simulations of star clusters
Peter Anders, Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers, Holger Baumgardt
Two aspects of our recent N-body studies of star clusters are presented: (1) What impact does mass segregation and selective mass loss have on integrated photometry? (2) How well c…
How Efficient is Rotational Mixing in Massive Stars ?
I. Brott, I. Hunter, P. Anders +1
The VLT-Flames Survey for Massive Stars (Evans05,Evans06) provides recise measurements of rotational velocities and nitrogen surface abundances of massive stars in the Magellanic C…
