Globular cluster formation in M82.

LIPSCY S.J. and PLAVCHAN P.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present high-resolution mid-infrared (mid-IR; 11.7 and 17.65 µm) maps of the central 400 pc region of the starburst galaxy M82. Seven star-forming clusters are identified, which together provide ∼15% of the total mid-IR luminosity of the galaxy. We find that these young stellar clusters have inferred masses and sizes comparable to globular clusters. At least 20% of the star formation in M82 is found to occur in super star clusters.
