Abstract:Aims. Currently, the global characteristics and evolution of super star clusters (SSCs) are not well understood, due to the large distances to their host galaxies. We aim to study the population of SSCs in IRAS 17138-1017, a luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG), in terms of age, extinction, mass, and luminosity distribution.Methods. We analyzed imaging data in the near-infrared from the GeMS/GSAOI instrument on the Gemini telescope and … Show more
