The SUNBIRD survey: the K-band luminosity functions of young massive clusters in intensely star-forming galaxies

Strongly star-forming galaxies are prolific in producing the young and most massive star clusters still forming today. This work investigates the star cluster luminosity functions (CLFs, dN/dL ∝ L-α) of 26 starburst and luminous infrared galaxies taken from the SUNBIRD survey. The targets were image...
