How star clusters could survive low star formation efficiencies
M. Fellhauer, P. Kroupa
After the stars of a new, embedded star cluster have formed they blow the remaining gas out of the cluster. Especially winds of high mass stars and definitely the on-set of the fir…
A Formation Scenario for the Heavy-Weight Cluster W3 in NGC 7252
M. Fellhauer, P. Kroupa
The young star cluster W3 (age 300-500 Myr) in NGC 7252 is the most luminous star cluster known to date. Dynamical mass estimates result in 8 +/- 2 * 10^7 M_sun. With an effective…
omega-Centauri - an Ultra Compact Dwarf Galaxy ?
M. Fellhauer
A new formation scenario for omega-Cen is presented, in which omega-Cen has formed from a star cluster complex (= super-cluster). The star-burst which has led to the formation of t…
Building dwarf galaxies out of merged young star clusters
M. Fellhauer
Young star clusters in interacting galaxies are often found in groups or clusters of star clusters containing up to 100 single clusters. In our project we study the future fate of…
Could merged star-clusters build up a small galaxy?
Michael Fellhauer, Pavel Kroupa
We investigate the behaviour of a cluster of young massive star clusters (hereafter super-cluster) in the tidal field of a host galaxy with a high-resolution particle-mesh code, Su…
