Circumstellar discs in Galactic centre clusters: Disc-bearing B-type stars in the Quintuplet and Arches clusters
Andrea Stolte, Benjamin Hussmann, Christoph Olczak +7
We investigate the circumstellar disc fraction as determined from L-band excess observations of the young, massive Arches and Quintuplet clusters residing in the central molecular…
The orbital motion of the Quintuplet cluster - a common origin for the Arches and Quintuplet clusters?
Andrea Stolte, Benjamin Hussmann, Mark R. Morris +6
We investigate the orbital motion of the Quintuplet cluster near the Galactic center with the aim of constraining formation scenarios of young, massive star clusters in nuclear env…
The ages of young star clusters, massive blue stragglers and the upper mass limit of stars: analysing age dependent stellar mass functions
Fabian R. N. Schneider, Robert G. Izzard, Selma E. de Mink +7
Massive stars rapidly change their masses through strong stellar winds and mass transfer in binary systems. We show that such mass changes leave characteristic signatures in stella…
Deep near-infrared imaging of W3 Main: constraints on stellar cluster formation
A. Bik, A. Stolte, M. Gennaro +10
Embedded clusters like W3 Main are complex and dynamically evolving systems that represent an important phase of the star formation process. We aim at the characterization of the e…
The Arches cluster out to its tidal radius: dynamical mass segregation and the effect of the extinction law on the stellar mass function
Maryam Habibi, Andrea Stolte, Wolfgang Brandner +2
The Galactic center is the most active site of star formation in the Milky Way Galaxy, where particularly high-mass stars have formed very recently and are still forming today. How…
Multiple episodes of star formation in the CN15/16/17 molecular complex
M. Gennaro, A. Bik, W. Brandner +9
We have started a campaign to identify massive star clusters inside bright molecular bubbles towards the Galactic Center. The CN15/16/17 molecular complex is the first example of o…
The present-day mass function of the Quintuplet cluster
B. Hußmann, A. Stolte, W. Brandner +1
Context: The stellar mass function is a probe for a potential dependence of star formation on the environment. Only a few young clusters are known to reside within the Central Mole…
