Formation, Evolution, and Survival of Massive Star Clusters (Iau S316) - Colloqui

IAU S316 reviews research on massive star clusters, for researchers and graduate students in observational, theoretical, and numerical astrophysics.

List of contents

1. Young and old massive star clusters and their stellar populations; 2. Multiwavelength observations of massive star clusters and of their progenitors; 3. Links between massive star clusters and their host galaxies; 4. Physics and modes of massive star cluster formation from the early to the present-day universe; 5. Dynamical evolution of massive star clusters; 6. Stellar populations in massive star clusters and their host galaxies.

Summary

IAU S316 reviews current research on massive star clusters, which are invaluable bridges connecting the interstellar medium, star formation and evolution, the evolution of galaxies, and cosmology. Observers, theoreticians, and modellers discuss controversial topics and planning the next steps in the key open areas.
