Star clusters stand at the intersection of much of modern astrophysics: the ISM, gravitational
dynamics, stellar evolution, and cosmology. Here, we review observations and theoretical …

Young star clusters are the most common birthplace of massive stars and are dynamically
active environments. Here, we study the formation of black holes (BHs) and binary black …

We present a novel view on the morphology and dynamical state of ten prominent, nearby
(≤ 500 pc), and young (∼ 30–300 Myr) open star clusters with Gaia DR2: α Per, Blanco 1 …

By performing 3D radiation hydrodynamics simulations, we study the formation of young
massive star clusters (YMCs; M*> 104 M⊙) in clouds with the surface density ranging from …

Using radiation-hydrodynamic cosmological simulations, we present a detailed (0.1 pc
resolution), physically motivated portrait of a typical-mass dwarf galaxy before the epoch of …

We identify structures of the young star cluster NGC 2232 in the solar neighborhood (323.0
pc) and a newly discovered star cluster, LP 2439 (289.1 pc). Member candidates are …

Star formation is an inefficient process and in general only a small fraction of the gas in a
giant molecular cloud (GMC) is turned into stars. This is partly due to the negative effect of …

ABSTRACT I study the contribution of young massive star clusters (YMCs) and open star
clusters (OCs) to the present day, intrinsic merger rate density of dynamically assembled …

Cosmic ray (CR) sources leave signatures in the isotopic abundances of CRs. Current
models of Galactic CRs that consider supernovae (SNe) shocks as the main sites of particle …

We study the formation of globular clusters (GCs) in massive compact clouds with the low
metallicity of Z= 10− 3 Z⊙ by performing three-dimensional radiative-hydrodynamic …
