Young star clusters in interacting galaxies - NGC 1487 and NGC 4038/4039
Sabine Mengel, Matthew D. Lehnert, Niranjan A. Thatte +3
We estimate the dynamical masses of several young (~10 Myr) massive star clusters in two interacting galaxies, NGC 4038/4039 ("The Antennae") and NGC 1487, under the assumption of…
The Globular Cluster Systems around NGC 3311 and NGC 3309
Elizabeth Wehner, Bill Harris, Brad Whitmore +2
We present extensive new photometry in (g',i') of the large globular cluster (GC) system around NGC 3311, the central cD galaxy in the Hydra cluster. Our GMOS data cover a 5.5' fie…
Dynamical Evolution of Globular Cluster Systems formed in Galaxy Mergers: Deep HST/ACS Imaging of Old and Intermediate-Age Globular Clusters in NGC 3610
Paul Goudfrooij, Francois Schweizer, Diane Gilmore +1
(ABRIDGED) The ACS camera on board the Hubble Space Telescope has been used to obtain deep images of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 3610, a well-established dissipative galaxy mer…
Massive stars and star clusters in the Antennae galaxies
Bradley C. Whitmore
Large numbers of young stars are formed in merging galaxies, such as the Antennae galaxies. Most of these stars are formed in compact star clusters (i.e., super star clusters), whi…
Connection between the Age Distributions of Star Clusters and Field Stars: A First Application to the Small Magellanic Cloud
Rupali Chandar, S. Michael Fall, Bradley C. Whitmore
We present the age distributions for star clusters and individual stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) based on data from the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey by Zaritsky…
Hierarchical Star Formation in the Spiral Galaxy NGC 628
Bruce G. Elmegreen, Debra Meloy Elmegreen, Rupali Chandar +2
The distributions of size and luminosity for star-forming regions in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 628 are studied over a wide range of scales using progressively blurred versions o…
