NGC 1569: identification from Ca II infrared line spectra of the objects A, B as superluminous star clusters.

PRADA F., GREVE A. and McKEITH C.D.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present blue and near-infrared spectroscopic data which provide evidence that the stellar-like objects (called A and B) in the nucleus of NGC 1569 are star clusters. The Ca II infrared triplet absorption lines and the slope of the spectral continuum reveal that the star cluster B is in the red supergiant phase of the cluster evolution at an age of 12 Myr, while the star cluster A is in the blue star phase at an age of 13-20 Myr. Evidence for a stellar condensation is also found within the large H II region close to A as indicated by the Ca II triplet present in its near-infrared spectrum. We give reddening-corrected emission line ratios for this H II region.
