Star clusters across cosmic time

MR Krumholz, CF McKee… - Annual Review of …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Star Clusters Near and Far: Tracing Star Formation Across Cosmic Time

A Adamo, P Zeidler, JMD Kruijssen, M Chevance… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
Star clusters are fundamental units of stellar feedback and unique tracers of their host
galactic properties. In this review, we will first focus on their constituents, ie detailed insight …

Posydon: A general-purpose population synthesis code with detailed binary-evolution simulations

T Fragos, JJ Andrews, SS Bavera… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Most massive stars are members of a binary or a higher-order stellar system, where the
presence of a binary companion can decisively alter their evolution via binary interactions …

PHANGS–JWST First Results: A Statistical View on Bubble Evolution in NGC 628

EJ Watkins, AT Barnes, K Henny, H Kim… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The first JWST observations of nearby galaxies have unveiled a rich population of bubbles

The life and times of giant molecular clouds

M Chevance, MR Krumholz, AF McLeod… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) are the sites of star formation and stellar feedback in
galaxies. Their properties set the initial conditions for star formation and their lifecycles …

On the origin of the chemical bimodality of disc stars: a tale of merger and migration

T Buck - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT The Milky Way's (MW) stellar disc exhibits a bimodality in the [Fe/H] versus
[α/Fe] plane, showing a distinct high-and low-α sequences whose origin is still under debate …

High star cluster formation efficiency in the strongly lensed Sunburst Lyman-continuum galaxy at z= 2.37

E Vanzella, M Castellano, P Bergamini… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
We investigate the strongly lensed (μ≃× 10− 100) Lyman continuum (LyC) galaxy, dubbed
Sunburst, at z= 2.37, taking advantage of a new accurate model of the lens. A …

Early Results from GLASS-JWST. VII. Evidence for Lensed, Gravitationally Bound Protoglobular Clusters at z= 4 in the Hubble Frontier Field A2744

E Vanzella, M Castellano, P Bergamini… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the blue and optical rest-frame sizes (λ≃ 2300–4000 Å) of three compact star-
forming regions in a galaxy at z= 4 strongly lensed (× 30,× 45, and× 100) by the Hubble …

The Extragalactic Distance Database: the color–magnitude diagrams/tip of the red giant branch distance catalog

GS Anand, L Rizzi, RB Tully, EJ Shaya… - The Astronomical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Extragalactic Distance Database (EDD) was created as a repository for high-
quality, redshift-independent distances. A key component of EDD is the Color–Magnitude …
