Dependence of Metal Enrichment of Nuclear Star Clusters on Galaxy Stellar Mass

Dependence of Metal Enrichment of Nuclear Star Clusters on Galaxy Stellar Mass

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are commonly found in the centers of galaxies, but their dominant formation mechanisms remain elusive. We perform a consistent analysis of stellar populations of 97 nearby NSCs, based on spectroscopic data from the Very Large Telescope. The sample covers a galaxy stellar...
