The E-MOSAICS Project: simulating the formation and co-evolution of galaxies and their star cluster populations
Joel Pfeffer, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Robert A. Crain +1
We introduce the MOdelling Star cluster population Assembly In Cosmological Simulations within EAGLE (E-MOSAICS) project. E-MOSAICS incorporates models describing the formation, ev…
Interpreting the complex CMDs of the Magellanic Clouds clusters
I. Cabrera-Ziri, S. Martocchia, K. Hollyhead +1
The Magellanic Clouds host a large population of massive (> 10^4 Msun) star clusters with ages ranging from a few Myr to 12 Gyr. In nearly all cases, close inspection of their CMDs…
Nearby Early-Type Galactic Nuclei at High Resolution: Dynamical Black Hole and Nuclear Star Cluster Mass Measurements
Dieu D. Nguyen, Anil C. Seth, Nadine Neumayer +12
We present a detailed study of the nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and massive black holes (BHs) of four of the nearest low-mass early-type galaxies: M32, NGC205, NGC5012, and NGC5206…
Age as a Major Factor in the Onset of Multiple Populations in Stellar Clusters
S. Martocchia, I. Cabrera-Ziri, C. Lardo +16
It is now well established that globular clusters (GCs) exhibit star-to-star light-element abundance variations (known as multiple stellar populations, MPs). Such chemical anomalie…
Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: massive star clusters in M83, and the mass-metallicity relation of nearby galaxies
Ben Davies, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki, Carmela Lardo +6
We present an abundance analysis of seven super-star clusters in the disk of M83. The near-infrared spectra of these clusters are dominated by Red Supergiants, and the spectral sim…
The difference in metallicity distribution functions of halo stars and globular clusters as a function of galaxy type: A tracer of globular cluster formation and evolution
Henny J. G. L. M. Lamers, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Nate Bastian +3
Observations of globular clusters (GCs) and field stars in the halos of the giant elliptical galaxy Cen A and the spiral galaxy M31 show a large range of cluster-to-star number rat…
Thermal Feedback in the high-mass star and cluster forming region W51
Adam Ginsburg, Ciriaco Goddi, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +11
High-mass stars have generally been assumed to accrete most of their mass while already contracted onto the main sequence, but this hypothesis has not been observationally tested.…
The Search for Multiple Populations in Magellanic Cloud Clusters III: No evidence for Multiple Populations in the SMC cluster NGC 419
S. Martocchia, N. Bastian, C. Usher +16
We present the third paper about our ongoing HST survey for the search for multiple stellar populations (MPs) within Magellanic Cloud clusters. We report here the analysis of NGC 4…
Searching for GC-like abundance patterns in young massive clusters II. - Results from the Antennae galaxies
C. Lardo, I. Cabrera-Ziri, B. Davies +1
The presence of multiple populations (MPs) with distinctive light element abundances is a widespread phenomenon in clusters older than 6 Gyr. Clusters with masses, luminosities, an…
The Varying Mass Distribution of Molecular Clouds Across M83
Pamela Freeman, Erik Rosolowsky, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +2
The work of Adamo et al. (2015) showed that the mass distributions of young massive stellar clusters were truncated above a maximum-mass scale in the nearby galaxy M83 and that thi…
