Star cluster dynamics in galaxies
I present a review of star cluster (SC) dynamics in galaxies, with special emphasis on the effects of global galactic dynamics on SC formation and evolution. I particularly discuss (i) dynamical friction processes affecting SCs in galaxies of different masses, (ii) formation of stellar galactic nuclei and massive globular clusters (GCs) through multiple merging of SCs, (iii) interactions betwee...
متن کاملStar cluster dynamics.
Dynamical evolution plays a key role in shaping the current properties of star clusters and star cluster systems. A detailed understanding of the effects of evolutionary processes is essential to be able to disentangle the properties that result from dynamical evolution from those imprinted at the time of cluster formation. In this review, I focus my attention on globular clusters, and review t...
متن کاملStar formation and AGN activity in SDSS cluster galaxies
We investigate the recent and current star formation activity of galaxies as function of distance from the cluster center in a sample of 521 SDSS clusters at z < 0.1. We characterize the recent star formation history by the strength of the 4000Å break and the strength of the Balmer absorption lines, and thus probe the star formation history over the last ∼ 2Gyr. We show that when the Brightest ...
متن کاملHidden star - formation in the cluster of galaxies Abell 1689 ⋆
At a redshift of 0.18, Abell 1689 is so far the most distant cluster of galaxies for which substantial mid–infrared (MIR) data have been published. Its mapping with the ISOCAM camera onboard the ISO satellite allowed the detection of 30 cluster members at 6.75 μm (LW2 filter) and 16 cluster members at 15 μm (LW3 filter) within a clustercentric radius of 0.5 Mpc (?) Paper I]Fadda00b. We present ...
متن کاملThe young star cluster system of the Antennae galaxies
The study of young star cluster (YSC) systems, preferentially in starburst and merging galaxies, has seen great interest in the recent past, as it provides important input to models of star formation. However, even some basic properties (like the luminosity function [LF]) of YSC systems are still under debate. Here we study the photometric properties of the YSC system in the nearest major merge...
