Star cluster complexes.
Young star clusters clustered themselves in regions. There interactions, mergers and disruptions may occur.Here we propose to measure the kinematics of these regions.
-Important stage in the star clusters life.
-Stars may be released from their clusters becoming field stars.
-Some star clusters may be interacting and eventually will merge.
We aim to study :
-Kinematic of the clusters, stars and the surrounding media: Chaotic? Small group interactions? How much the media affects to the clusters?
Is the velocity field of the gas coupled/de-coupled with the clusters ?
-Important information about the process of cluster disruptions
-Input for simulations.
Star cluster complexes
Young star cluster region in
NGC 45 0.01” pix scale (simulated from ACS )
Telescope Setup : Extrapolation of VLT VIMOS 0.67” fiber of 54”x54”
IFU FOV with fibre size of 0.37”
30”x30” FOV
Opportunity to observe star and cluster interactions!!!

NotesMagToTR.A.TargetRun
ELT Justification: Only instrument available to reach objects of V=24 with s/n=30 using 3D spectroscopy. (Extrapolating VIMOS efficiency)
Legacy Value: Metallicity estimation of the clusters and the media. Ages and masses in combination with models can be also derived.
