Fraction of Stars in Clusters for the LEGUS Dwarf Galaxies

D. O. Cook, J. C. Lee, A. Adamo +20

We study the young star cluster populations in 23 dwarf and irregular galaxies observed by the HST Legacy ExtraGalactic Ultraviolet Survey (LEGUS), and examine relationships betwee…

Chemical Evolution of Ytterbium in the Galactic Disk

M. Montelius, R. Forsberg, N. Ryde +8

Measuring the abundances of neutron-capture elements in Galactic disk stars is an important part of understanding key stellar and galactic processes. In the optical wavelength regi…

Spatial segregation of massive clusters in dwarf galaxies

Bruce G. Elmegreen, A. Adamo, M. Boquien +14

The relative average minimum projected separations of star clusters in the Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS) and in tidal dwarfs around the interacting galaxy NGC 5291 are det…

Search For Star Cluster Age Gradients Across Spiral Arms of Three LEGUS Disk Galaxies

F. Shabani, E. K. Grebel, A. Pasquali +20

One of the main theories for explaining the formation of spiral arms in galaxies is the stationary density wave theory. This theory predicts the existence of an age gradient across…

The properties, origin and evolution of stellar clusters in galaxy simulations and observations

C. L. Dobbs, A. Adamo, C. G. Few +16

We investigate the properties and evolution of star particles in two simulations of isolated spiral galaxies, and two galaxies from cosmological simulations. Unlike previous numeri…
