Abstract:
Young massive clusters of & 105.5Mo show the extreme mode of star formation. They are common in the Early Universe and in starburst galaxies today. They are tremendously bright and powerful and can dominate the luminosity and energetics of the host galaxy. These clusters are born embedded in the obscuring gas and dust of giant molecular clouds.
