Kinematic Masses of Super Star Clusters in NGC 1569
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 August 2017
Abstract
We summarize recent results from our study of the massive young super star clusters (SSCs) in the dwarf galaxy NGC 1569, and present new high-resolution NIRSPEC spectra that permit the measurement of a cluster's intrinsic stellar velocity dispersion. Thus we derive kinematic masses for the two brightest SSCs: 2.3 × 105 Msun for SSC B, and 3.9 × 105 and 4.4 × 105 Msun for the two components of SSC A.
