Super Star Clusters in the Blue Dwarf Galaxy UM 462 ⋆
I present optical observations of the Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy UM 462. The images of this galaxy show several bright compact sources. A careful study of these sources has revealed their nature of young Super Star Clusters. The ages determined from the analysis of the stellar continuum and Hα are between few and few tens Myr. The total star formation taking place into the clusters is about 0.05...
متن کاملRadio Observations of Super Star Clusters in Dwarf Starburst Galaxies
We present new radio continuum observations of two dwarf starburst galaxies, NGC3125 and NGC5408, with observations at 4.80GHz (6cm) and 8.64GHz (3cm), taken with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). Both galaxies show a complex radio morphology with several emission regions, mostly coincident with massive young star clusters. The radio spectral indices of these regions are negative (w...
متن کاملCompact Stellar Systems in the Fornax Cluster: Super-massive Star Clusters or Extremely Compact Dwarf Galaxies?
We describe a population of compact objects in the centre of the Fornax Cluster which were discovered as part of our 2dF Fornax Spectroscopic Survey. These objects have spectra typical of old stellar systems, but are unresolved on photographic sky survey plates. They have absolute magnitudes –13 < M B < –11, so they are 10 times more luminous than any Galactic globular clusters, but fainter tha...
متن کاملMissing Dwarf Problem in Galaxy Clusters
We investigated the formation and evolution of CDM subhalos in galaxy-sized and cluster-sized halos by means of N -body simulations. Our aim is to make clear what the “dwarf galaxy problem” is. It has been argued that the number of subhalos in simulated galaxy-sized halos is too large compared to the observed number of dwarfs in the local group, while that in cluster-sized halos is consistent w...
متن کاملMassive star clusters in dwarf starburst galaxies
I will discuss the presence of massive star clusters in starburst galaxies with an emphasis on low mass galaxies outside the local group. I will show that such galaxies, with respect to their mass and luminosity, may be very rich in young luminous clusters.
