What is Super star cluster?
'''Super star clusters''' are huge [[star cluster]]s of very young large stars. They are thought to be precursors of [[globular cluster]]s.<ref name=gallagher02>{{cite journal| author = Gallagher & Grebel | year = 2002| title = Extragalactic star clusters: speculations on the future| url = https://archive.org/details/arxiv-astro-ph0109052 | journal = Extragalactic Star Clusters, IAU Symposium| volume = 207| pages = 207| bibcode = 2002IAUS..207..745G |arxiv = astro-ph/0109052 }}</ref> Their short-lived huge blue stars emit lots of [[UV]] [[radiation]] which [[ionisation|ionises]] the surrounding gas. Examples are [[Westerlund 1]] and [[Westerlund 2|2]] in the [[Milky Way]], and [[R136]] in the [[Larger Magellanic Cloud]]. Nearby galaxy [[NGC 1569]] has two SSCs. == References == {{reflist}} {{science-stub}} [[Category:Super star clusters| ]]
