Young, massive star clusters are the most notable and significant end products of violent star-forming episodes triggered by galaxy collisions, mergers, and close encounters. The question remains, however, whether or not at least a fraction of the compact YMCs seen in abundance in extragalactic ...

ciated with galaxy interactions. The production of young massive star clusters (YSCs) seems to be a hallmark of intense star formation, particularly in inter- acting and starburst galaxies. Their sizes, luminosities, and mass estimates are
Young massive clusters are usually deeply embedded in dust and gas. They represent excellent astrophysical laboratories for revealing the enigma of star formation processes and the early stages of stellar evolution. Wide-field infrared surveys are a modern tool for studying hidden clusters. “Vista var...

Results.All clusters in our sample are very young (ages between 1–20 Myr), and their total mass are between (1.07+0.40-0.30)×102M⊙and (4.17+4.15-2.08)×103M⊙. We observed a relation between the clusters total massMecland the mass of their most massive stellar membermmax, for cluste...
