During the recent decade, many investigators searched for new clusters using data from large surveys. In this paper, we review the results of these studies and discuss the methods used to derive physical parameters of open clusters. ( 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)doi:...
open clusters and associations: generalMost stars form as part of a star cluster. The most massive clusters in the Milky Way exist in two groups - loose and compact clusters - with significantly different sizes at the end of the star formation process. After their formation both types of ...
“Clusters form big families of stars that can stay together for large parts of their lifetime. Today, we know of roughly a few thousand star clusters in theMilky Way, but we only recognize them because of their prominent appearance as rich and tight groups of stars. Given enough time, ...
The intrinsic physical properties of these five star clusters are particularly meaningful for probing proto-globular cluster formation mechanisms as well as their potential evolution. As described in theMethods, we find that A.1 is only marginally resolved, with an observed effective half-light radius...

“concentrated” open star clusters, and the stellar associations. As we have pointed out in the historical introduction to Part IV, investigations of the star clusters have contributed in important ways both to our knowledge of the structure of our Milky Way Galaxy as well as to understanding ...
Still, Banerjee and Kroupa reckon that dark clusters, similarly formed by close shaves with the galaxy’s supermassive black hole, may litter the Milky Way. Their paucity of stars would make them easy to miss in the crowded environs near the galaxy’s core, but future space-based telesc...
We also show that the luminosity function of the MW NSC is consistent with the hypothesis that a large fraction of the mass comes from (~10Gyr) old stars, brought in by globular clusters. We conclude that a model in which a large fraction of the mass of the MW NSC arose from in...
