Variation of the cluster luminosity function across the disk of M51
M. R. Haas, M. Gieles, R. A. Scheepmaker +3
We study the luminosity function (LF) of the star clusters in M51. Comparing the observed LF with the LF resulting from artificial cluster populations suggests that there exists an…
Star cluster disruption by giant molecular clouds
M. Gieles, S. F. Portegies Zwart, H. Baumgardt +4
We investigate encounters between giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and star clusters. We propose a single expression for the energy gain of a cluster due to an encounter with a GMC, v…
Small Magellanic Cloud Be stars: colour-magnitude relations and mass-loss
W. J. de Wit, H. J. G. L. M. Lamers, J. B. Marquette +1
We present an analysis of optical lightcurves of Small Magellanic Cloud Be-type stars. Observations show that (1) optical excess flux is correlated with near-IR excess flux indicat…
