Young massive clusters (YMCs) are dense aggregates of young stars that form the
fundamental building blocks of galaxies. Several examples exist in the Milky Way Galaxy …

As members of the instrument team for the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and as Chandra General Observers, we have …

We present a thorough literature study of the most-massive star, m max, in several young
star clusters in order to assess whether or not star clusters are populated from the stellar …

There is currently no accepted theoretical framework for the formation of the most massive
stars, and the manner in which protostars continue to accrete and grow in mass beyond∼ …

The clusters of young stars in massive star-forming regions show a wide range of sizes,
morphologies, and numbers of stars. Their highly subclustered structures are revealed by …

We introduce a new method to measure the dispersion of m max values of star clusters and
show that the observed sample of m max is inconsistent with random sampling from a …

We report the first results of imaging the Carina nebula (NGC 3372) with the Infrared Array
Camera (IRAC) onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope, providing a photometry catalogue of …

We explore the hypothesis that some high-velocity runaway stars attain their peculiar
velocities in the course of exchange encounters between hard massive binaries and a very …

ABSTRACT The Great Nebula in Carina provides an exceptional view into the violent
massive star formation and feedback that typifies giant H ii regions and starburst galaxies …

We present a catalog of 1439 young stellar objects (YSOs) spanning the 1.42 deg 2 field
surveyed by the Chandra Carina Complex Project (CCCP), which includes the major …
