Stable Configurations Of Charged Sedimenting Particles
C. I. Trombley, M. L. Ekiel-Jezewska
The qualitative behavior of charged particles in a vacuum is given by Earnshaw's Theorem which states that there is no steady configuration of charged particles in a vacuum which i…
Probing the Dragonfish star-forming complex: the ionizing population of the young massive cluster Mercer 30
D. de la Fuente, F. Najarro, J. Borissova +11
The Dragonfish Nebula has been recently claimed to be powered by a superluminous but elusive OB association. Instead, systematic searches in near-infrared photometric surveys have…
Massive Stars in the W33 Giant Molecular Complex
Maria Messineo, J. Simon Clark, Donald F. Figer +9
Rich in HII regions, giant molecular clouds are natural laboratories to study massive stars and sequential star formation. The Galactic star forming complex W33 is located at l=~12…
Massive stars in the giant molecular cloud G23.3-0.3 and W41
Maria Messineo, Karl M. Menten, Donald F. Figer +7
Young massive stars and stellar clusters continuously form in the Galactic disk, generating new HII regions within their natal giant molecular clouds and subsequently enriching the…
Multiwavelength Observations of Massive Stellar Cluster Candidates in the Galaxy
Emily E. Richards, Cornelia C. Lang, Christine Trombley +1
The Galaxy appears to be richer in young, massive stellar clusters than previously known, due to advances in infrared surveys which have uncovered deeply embedded regions of star f…
A newly-discovered young massive star cluster at the end of the Galactic Bar
Ben Davies, Diego de la Fuente, Francisco Najarro +4
We present a near-infrared study of the candidate star cluster Mercer 81, located at the centre of the G338.4+0.1 HII region, and close to the TeV gamma-ray source HESS 1640-465. U…
The G305 star-forming complex: the central star clusters Danks 1 and Danks 2
Ben Davies, J. S. Clark, Christine Trombley +7
The G305 HII complex (G305.4+0.1) is one of the most massive star forming structures yet identified within the Galaxy. It is host to many massive stars at all stages of formation a…
Massive stars in the Cl 1813-178 Cluster. An episode of massive star formation in the W33 complex
Maria Messineo, Ben Davies, Donald F. Figer +5
Young massive (M >10^4 Msun) stellar clusters are a good laboratory to study the evolution of massive stars. Only a dozen of such clusters are known in the Galaxy. Here we report a…
HST/NICMOS observations of the GLIMPSE9 stellar cluster
Maria Messineo, Donald F. Figer, Ben Davies +4
We present HST/NICMOS photometry, and low-resolution K-band spectra of the GLIMPSE9 stellar cluster. The newly obtained color-magnitude diagram shows a cluster sequence with H-Ks =…
The progenitor mass of the magnetar SGR1900+14
Ben Davies, Don F. Figer, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki +3
Magnetars are young neutron stars with extreme magnetic fields (B > 10^{14}-10^{15}G). How these fields relate to the properties of their progenitor stars is not yet clearly establ…
A Near-Infrared Study of the Stellar Cluster: [DBS2003] 45
Qingfeng Zhu, Ben Davies, Donald F. Figer +1
We present a multi-wavelength photometric and spectroscopic study of a newly discovered candidate cluster [DBS2003] 45. Our H, Ks photometry confirms that [DBS2003] 45 is a cluster…
