Mortality and dust expulsion in early phases of stellar clusters

Abstract: Context. It is often argued that young stellar clusters suffer a significant infant mortality that is partly related to the expulsion of dust and gas in their early phases caused by radiation pressure from hot stars and supernovae. Near-infrared (J − K)− M K diagrams of young stellar clusters in nearby spiral galaxies show a bi-modal distribution that is consistent with a fast decline of their intrinsic extinction at an early epoch. Aims. The distinct features in the color-magnitude diagrams (CMD) and the fast… Show more

“…These clusters should be visible in the near-IR, however, studies that attempted to use IR data, e.g. Grosbøl & Dottori (2013), using aperture photometry as with optical data, have proven unreliable due to spatial resolution effects (Bastian et al 2014a). Despite this, space-based instruments with high spatial resolution [e.g.…”

“…Space-based resolution capabilities will soon be limited to near-IR data and the traditional extragalactic cluster population studies in optical and UV wavelengths will no longer be feasible with the retirement of HST. These clusters should be visible in the near-IR, however studies that attempted to use infrared data, e.g Grosbøl & Dottori (2013), using aperture photometry as with optical data, have proven unreliable due to spatial resolution effects (Bastian et al 2014a).

“…A significant fraction of massive stars born in clusters are released to the field through cluster disruption (Lada & Lada 2003;Weidner et al 2007), which is enhanced by their location in massive star-forming complexes (Grosbøl & Dottori 2013). Surviving clusters are also responsible for populating the surrounding field with runaway massive stars (Fujii & Portegies Zwart 2011;Gvaramadze et al 2012).…”

“…Among the many intrinsic parameters of a star-forming region that can affect the properties of the observed emission line profiles, velocity, density and ionisation distributions of the gas along the line of sight are by far the dominant ones. The expulsion of dust and gas from young clusters due to the action of stellar winds and supernovae has been discussed by many authors (see for example Tutukov 1978; as well as the resultant cluster "infant mortality" effect (see for example Grosbøl & Dottori 2013).…”
