Using U BV CCD photometry, the stellar content of HII regions and young star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds has been studied: (1) the reddenings have been determined, and ages of OB associations and young star clusters have been measured; (2) the stellar initial mass functions have been determined by using the main-sequence luminosity functions; and (3) U BV CCD surface photometry of nine young star clusters has been obtained and their structural properties investigated.

AbstractTurbulence, self-gravity, and cooling convert most of the interstellar medium into cloudy structures that form stars. Turbulence compresses the gas into clouds directly and it moves pre-existing clouds around passively when there are multiple phases of temperature. Self-gravity also partitions the gas into clouds, forming giant regular complexes in spiral arms and in resonance rings and contributing to the scale-free motions generated by turbulence. Dense clusters form in the most strongly self-gravitating cores of these clouds, often triggered by compression from local stars. Pre-star formation processes inside clusters are not well observed, but the high formation rates and high densities of pre-stellar objects, and their power law mass functions suggest that turbulence, self-gravity, and energy dissipation are involved there too.

The Ideal

The globular clusters (GC) of the Magellanic Clouds play a very important role for many astrophysical and cosmological topics. For example, they represent the ideal testground for stellar evolution theory, they allow us to study the the early dynamical evolution of star clusters, to obtain accurate initial mass functions in a fairly extended mass range, to calibrate the Cepheid period-luminosity relation, and so on. In this brief paper I will touch upon two items which are of considerable cosmological interest, and about which Magellanic Cloud globulars provide unique information. These topics concern i) GC formation in galaxies, and ii) the epoch of galaxy formation.
