The Intermediate-mass Stellar Population of the Large Magellanic Cloud Cluster NGC 1818 and the Universality of the Stellar Initial Mass Function*
TL;DR: In this paper, stellar photometry from the Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 1818, a young populous star cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud, is presented, and the authors compute a stellar initial mass function (IMF) for stars from 0.85 to 9 M. The slope of the mass function is -1.23 ± 0.08.
Journal ArticleDOI
One Galaxy from Several: The Hickson Compact Group H31
TL;DR: The compact group H31 was identified by Hickson in 1982; it consists of four galaxies in close proximity, at least two of which (A and C) are interacting as mentioned in this paper.
The Luminosity Functions and Size Distributions of H II Regions in Irregular Galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of H II regions in 29 normal Im galaxies and six blue compact dwarf/starburst irregulars were studied and the Hα emission line fluxes were measured and used to construct luminosity functions for each galaxy.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-spiraling clumps in blue compact dwarf galaxies
TL;DR: In this paper, the blue compact dwarfs (BCD) were observed to be analogous to the bulge in a young spiral galaxy and the observed clumps also seem to contain old field stars, even after background light subtraction.

TL;DR: In this article, the stellar velocity dispersion in NGC 1569, a nearby post-starburst dIm galaxy, was analyzed using high-resolution H I data and the authors concluded that the stars in the galaxy are in a thick disk with a V-max/sigma(z) = 2.4 +/- 0.7.
