Young star clusters in the LMC

K. C. Freeman, R. A. W. Elson

Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

We discuss the integrated colours, kinematics, formation, dynamical evolution and initial mass functions of the young globular star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Because these clusters are so young, they offer us insights, unobtainable from the old globular clusters in our Galaxy, into the formation and early dynamical evolution of globular clusters.
