Turbulence sets the initial conditions for star formation in high-pressure environments

J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore, J. M. Jackson +9

Despite the simplicity of theoretical models of supersonically turbulent, isothermal media, their predictions successfully match the observed gas structure and star formation activ…

Constraining Globular Cluster Formation Through Studies of Young Massive Clusters - IV. Testing the Fast Rotating Massive Star Scenario

Nate Bastian, Katie Hollyhead, Ivan Cabrera-Ziri

One of the leading models for the formation of multiple stellar populations within globular clusters is the "Fast Rotating Massive Star" (FRMS) scenario, where the ejecta of rapidl…

The effect of spatial resolution on optical and near-IR studies of stellar clusters: Implications for the origin of the red excess

N. Bastian, A. Adamo, M. Schirmer +6

Recent ground based near-IR studies of stellar clusters in nearby galaxies have suggested that young clusters remain embedded for 7-10Myr in their progenitor molecular cloud, in co…

Constraining globular cluster formation through studies of young massive clusters - III. A lack of gas and dust in massive stellar clusters in the LMC and SMC

Nate Bastian, Jay Strader

Scenarios that invoke multiple episodes of star formation within young globular clusters (GCs) to explain the observed chemical and photometric anomalies in GCs, require that clust…

Science Case and Requirements for the MOSAIC Concept for a Multi-Object Spectrograph for the European Extremely Large Telescope

C. J. Evans, M. Puech, B. Barbuy +55

Over the past 18 months we have revisited the science requirements for a multi-object spectrograph (MOS) for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). These efforts span the…

An optical--near-IR study of a triplet of super star clusters in the starburst core of M82

M. S. Westmoquette, N. Bastian, L. J. Smith +8

We present HST/STIS optical and Gemini/NIFS near-IR IFU spectroscopy, and archival HST imaging of the triplet of super star clusters (A1, A2 and A3) in the core of the M82 starburs…
