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…
