Current stellar population models have arguably the largest uncertainties in the near-IR wavelength range, partly due to a lack of large and well calibrated empirical spectral libraries. In this...
Medium resolution 2.3 micron spectroscopy of the massive Galactic open cluster Westerlund 1 (2007)
Mengel, Sabine, Tacconi-Garman, Lowell E.
The Galactic open cluster Westerlund 1 was found only a few years ago to be much more massive than previously thought, with evidence suggesting its mass to be in excess of ~10^5 Msun, in the range...
SINFONI Observations of Starclusters in Starburst Galaxies (2005)
We have used ESO's new NIR IFS SINFONI during its Science Verification period to observe the central regions of local starburst galaxies. Being Science Verification observations, the aim was...
K-band Spectroscopy of Clusters in NGC 4038/4039 (2000)
Mengel, Sabine, Lehnert, Matthew D., Thatte, Niranjan, Tacconi-Garman, Lowell E., Genzel, Reinhard
Integral field spectroscopy in the K-band (1.9-2.4um) was performed on four IR-bright star clusters and the two nuclei in NGC 4038/4039 (``The Antennae''). Two of the clusters are located in the...
