Star formation in galaxies and star clusters
This thesis is devoted to star formation from galaxy-scales (≈ 10 000 pc) to sub-star cluster-scales (≈ 0.1 pc). I develop and test a new method to derive star formation histories of Galaxies from their star cluster content, in particular the most massive star clusters. This is followed by an application of this method to the Large Magellanic Cloud, where the results of this new method are conf...
متن کاملBeyond the nuclear starburst? Clustered star formation in major mergers
Recent simulation work has successfully captured the formation of the star clusters that have been observed in merging galaxies. These studies, however, tend to focus on studying extreme starbursts, such as the Antennae galaxies. We aim to establish whether there is something special occurring in these extreme systems or whether the mechanism for cluster formation is present in all mergers to a...
متن کاملEvolution of Nuclear Star Clusters
Two-body relaxation times of nuclear star clusters are short enough that gravitational encounters should substantially affect their structure in 10 Gyr or less. In nuclear star clusters without massive black holes, dynamical evolution is a competition between core collapse, which causes densities to increase, and heat input from the surrounding galaxy, which causes densities to decrease. The ma...
متن کاملFormation of Young Star Clusters
Turbulence, self-gravity, and cooling convert most of the interstellar medium into cloudy structures that form stars. Turbulence compresses the gas into clouds directly and it moves pre-existing clouds around passively when there are multiple phases of temperature. Selfgravity also partitions the gas into clouds, forming giant regular complexes in spiral arms and in resonance rings and contribu...
متن کاملClustered Star Formation in W 75
We present 2 ′′ to 7 ′′ resolution 3 mm continuum and CO(J=1−0) line emission and near infrared K s , H 2 , and [FeII] images toward the massive star forming region W75 N. The CO emission uncovers a complex morphology of multiple, overlapping outflows. A total flow mass of > 255 M ⊙ extends 3 pc from end-to-end and is being driven by at least four late to early-B protostars. More than 10% of th...
