Formation of young massive star clusters: a high-resolution multi-wavelength study of intensely star-formation galaxies

Super star clusters (SSCs) represent the youngest and most massive form of known gravitationally bound star clusters in the Universe. They are born abundantly in environments that trigger strong and violent star formation (SF) such as in galaxy mergers and interacting systems. SSCs are thus used as...
