“…The high angular resolution of the HST resolved R136a in 30 Doradus, previously believed to be a single, hypermassive star (cf. Moffat 1982;Savage et al 1983), into individual stars (Malumuth & Heap 1994;Hunter et al 1995). Subsequently, the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) has been used to detect starburst sites and star-forming regions in nearby and distant galaxies.…”

We identified star clusters in archived HST/WFPC2 images of the merger and ultra-luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240, with the aim of investigating whether star cluster properties (luminosity, age and mass) in such an extreme environment differ from those of clusters in less luminous starburst galaxies. We found 54 star clusters in all of the F450W, F547M and F814W exposures, of which 41 are located in the main body of NGC 6240 and 13 in the galactic tails. Given that only two colours are available to derive two independent variables (cluster reddening and age), we adopted an ad hoc procedure to statistically derive cluster parameters under the assumption that the cluster metallicity is LMC-like. The colours of each cluster are fitted to STARBURST99 models of fixed mass and variable ages and reddenings. All cluster reddening and age solutions with Chi squared < 1 are considered to be consistent with the data. Masses are derived by scaling the luminosity of the models with best-fit Chi squared < 1 by the observed V luminosity, after correction for reddening and distance. We infer that the most probable age of the observed clusters is (5 - 13) Myr and their most probable mass is about (1 - 2)e05 solar masses. Comparison with star clusters in starburst galaxies seems to point to more massive clusters being formed in more massive galaxies and gas-rich mergers, while the overall cluster mass distribution might be relatively independent of the details of the associated starburst where dense, massive clusters preferentially form.Comment: 15 pages, 1 JPG figure, 12 Postscript figures, MNRAS accepte

“…Similarly, the age‐related reduction of plasma proteins causes an increase in the concentration of active drug and, hence, a reduction in drug dosage needed. Moreover, the decrease of renal and hepatic output requires an adjustment of drug dosages given to the elderly (13,14).…”
