The SLUGGS Survey: Measuring globular cluster ages using both photometry and spectroscopy

Christopher Usher, Jean P. Brodie, Duncan A. Forbes +4

Globular cluster ages provide both an important test of models of globular cluster formation and a powerful method to constrain the assembly history of galaxies. Unfortunately, mea…

Multiple Populations in Integrated Light Spectroscopy of Intermediate Age Clusters

Nate Bastian, Christopher Usher, Sebastian Kamann +9

The presence of star-to-star light-element abundance variations (a.k.a. multiple populations, MPs) appears to be ubiquitous within old and massive clusters in the Milky Way and all…

No evidence for intermediate-mass black holes in the globular clusters Cen and NGC 6624

Holger Baumgardt, Chenyu He, Sarah M. Sweet +8

We compare the results of a large grid of N-body simulations with the surface brightness and velocity dispersion profiles of the globular clusters Cen and NGC 6624. Our models…

Young star cluster populations in the E-MOSAICS simulations

Joel Pfeffer, Nate Bastian, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +3

We present an analysis of young star clusters (YSCs) that form in the E-MOSAICS cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations of galaxies and their star cluster populations. Through com…

The search for multiple populations in Magellanic Clouds clusters - V. Correlation between cluster age and abundance spreads

S. Martocchia, E. Dalessandro, C. Lardo +14

In our HST photometric survey, we have been searching for multiple stellar populations (MPs) in Magellanic Clouds (MCs) massive star clusters which span a significant range of ages…
