We use the Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis models to test the recent suggestion that red supergiants can provide an accurate age estimate of a coeval...

Sampling fluctuations in stellar populations give rise to dispersion in observables when a small number of sources contribute effectively to the observables...

Stellar clusters with the same general physical properties (e.g., total mass, age, and star-formation mode) may have very different stellar mass spectra due to...

Aims: In this paper we study the influence of the ionizing cluster mass on the emission line spectrum of H ii regions in order to determine the influence of low...

Aims: This work aims to provide a theoretical formulation of surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) in the framework of probabilistic population synthesis models...

The force of gravity acting within the volume occupied by young, compact, and massive super star clusters is here shown to drive in situ all the matter...

We have investigated the formation of globular cluster (GC) systems in the fiducial semi-analytic model of galaxy formation of Cole et al., by assuming that GCs...

Here we report on the properties of the star forming factory, in which the continuous creation of stars results into a highly concentrated, massive (globular...

Here, we discuss the mechanical feedback that massive stellar clusters provide to the interstellar medium of their host galaxy. We apply an analytic theory...
