Young massive star clusters in M 51
A search for young massive star clusters (YMCs) in the nearby face-on spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194) has been carried out using UBV CCD images from the prime focus camera on the Lick 3 meter Shane telescope. The YMC population is found to be quite rich with a specific U -band luminosity TL(U) ∼ 1.4, consistent with the high current star formation rate of this galaxy. The brightest clusters have M...
متن کاملTidally - induced Super Star Clusters in M 82
Using new HST imaging, we identify a large, evolved system of super star clusters in a disk region just outside the starburst core in the prototypical starburst galaxy M82, " M82 B. " This region has been suspected to be a fossil starburst site in which an intense episode of star formation occurred over 100 Myr ago, which is now confirmed by our derived age distribution. It suggests steady, con...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 5 M 82 , Starbursts , Star Clusters , and the formation of Globular Clusters
We observed the nearby starburst galaxy M82 in CO in the higher frequency (2–1) transition to achieve an angular resolution below 1 arc second or 17 pc at the target. We resolved the molecular gas into a large number of compact clouds, with masses ranging from ∼ 2 × 10 to 2 × 10 M⊙. The mass spectrum scales as N(M) ∝ M, similar to the mass spectra of young massive star clusters suggesting that ...
متن کاملMassive star clusters in galaxies.
The ensemble of all star clusters in a galaxy constitutes its star cluster system. In this review, the focus of the discussion is on the ability of star clusters, particularly the systems of old massive globular clusters (GCs), to mark the early evolutionary history of galaxies. I review current themes and key findings in GC research, and highlight some of the outstanding questions that are eme...
متن کاملNear Infra-red Spectroscopy of V838 Monocerotis
Near IR, multi epoch, spectroscopic and photometric observations of the enigmatic, eruptive variable V838 Mon in the JHK bands are reported. One of unusual features of the spectra is the detection of several strong neutral TiI lines in emission in the K band. From the strength of these lines, the mass of the ejected envelope is estimated to be in the range 10−7 to 10−5 M . The spectra also show...
