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 کاملThe Star Cluster population of NGC 5253 ⋆
We present a detailed analysis of the star cluster population in the starburst galaxy NGC 5253. Our work is based on HST optical and VLT Ks images. We detect more than 300 clusters, and for all of them we derive the photometry in the V, I and Ks bands and built a color-color V-I/V-Ks diagram. After correction for star contamination, we matched 115 sources in all the three bands V, I and Ks. Com...
متن کاملStar Cluster Survey . III . The White Dwarf Cooling Age of the Rich Open Star Cluster NGC 2099 ( M 37 )
We present deep CCD photometry of the very rich, intermediate aged (similar to the Hyades) open star cluster NGC 2099 (M37). The V, B−V color-magnitude diagram (CMD) for the cluster shows an extremely well populated and very tightly constrained main-sequence extending over 12 magnitudes from the turn-off. Both a well defined main-sequence turn-off and a red giant population are also clearly evi...
متن کاملA Catalog of Bright Star Clusters in the Interacting Galaxy M 51 ∗
We present a catalog of star clusters with VF555W < 23 mag detected in the interacting spiral galaxy M51 system based on the mosaic images taken with HST ACS by the Hubble Heritage Team. We have selected about 3,600 clusters based on their morphological information through the visual inspection. The final star cluster catalog includes 2,224 clusters that are relatively well isolated and have a ...
متن کاملThe Extremely Young Star Cluster Population In Haro 11
We have performed a deep multi-band photometric analysis of the star cluster population of Haro 11. This starburst galaxy (log LFUV = 10.3 L⊙) is considered a nearby analogue of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at high redshift. The study of the numerous star clusters in the systems is an effective way to investigate the formation and evolution of the starburst phase. In fact, the SED fitting models...
