The longevity of the oldest open clusters: Structural parameters of NGC 188, NGC 2420, NGC 2425, NGC 2682, NGC 6791, NGC 6819
N. Alvarez-Baena, R. Carrera, H. Thompson +5
Context: Open clusters' dynamical evolution is driven by stellar evolution, internal dynamics and external forces, which according to dynamical simulations, will evaporate them in…
NGC 5236's stars as tracers of arms and arm widths in spiral galaxies
E. Silva-Villa, X Cano-Gómez
Generally, identifying the spiral arms of a spiral galaxy is not a hard task. However, defining the main characteristics, width and length of those structure is not a common task.…
Solving the distance discrepancy for the open cluster NGC 2453. The planetary nebula NGC 2452 is not a cluster member
D. González-Díaz, C. Moni Bidin, E. Silva-Villa +6
The open cluster (OC) NGC 2453 is of particular importance since it has been considered to host the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 2452, however their distances and radial velocities ar…
Probing the role of the galactic environment in the formation of stellar clusters; using M83 as a test bench
Angela Adamo, Diederik Kruijssen, Nate Bastian +2
We present a study of the M83 cluster population, covering the disc of the galaxy between radii of 0.45 and 4.5 kpc. We aim to probe the properties of the cluster population as a f…
Sizes and Shapes of Young Star Cluster Light Profiles in M83
Jenna E. Ryon, Nate Bastian, Angela Adamo +6
We measure the radii and two-dimensional light profiles of a large sample of young, massive star clusters in M83 using archival HST/WFC3 imaging of seven adjacent fields. We use GA…
Studying the YMC population of M83: how long clusters remain embedded, their interaction with the ISM and implications for GC formation theories
Katherine Hollyhead, Nate Bastian, Angela Adamo +4
The study of young massive clusters can provide key information for the formation of globular clusters, as they are often considered analogues. A currently unanswered question in t…
