▪ Abstract Stellar clusters are born embedded within giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and during their formation and early evolution are often only visible at infrared wavelengths, being heavily obscured by dust. Over the past 15 years advances in infrared detection capabilities have enabled the first systematic studies of embedded clusters in galactic molecular clouds. In this article we review the current state of empirical knowledge concerning these extremely young protocluster systems. From a…

Stellar clusters in the inner Galaxy and their correlation with cold dust emission
Context. Stars are born within dense clumps of giant molecular clouds, and constitute young stellar agglomerates known as embedded clusters, which only evolve into bound open clusters under special…
ULTRACOMPACT EMBEDDED CLUSTERS IN THE GALACTIC PLANE
We have identified a previously unrecognized population of very compact, embedded low-mass Galactic stellar clusters. These tight (r ≈ 0.14 pc) groupings appear as bright singular objects at the few…
The Youngest Globular Clusters
It is likely that all stars are born in clusters, but most clusters are not bound and disperse. None of the many protoclusters in our Galaxy are likely to develop into long-lived bound clusters. The…

TLDR
The present state of empirical knowledge concerning embedded-cluster systems is reviewed and the implications for understanding their formation and subsequent evolution to produce bound stellar clusters are discussed.
New detections of embedded clusters in the Galactic halo
Until recently it was thought that high Galactic latitude clouds were a non-star-forming ensemble. However, in a previous study we reported the discovery of two embedded clusters (ECs) far away from…
NGC 346: Looking in the Cradle of a Massive Star Cluster
Abstract How does a star cluster of more than few 10,000 solar masses form? We present the case of the cluster NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud, still embedded in its natal star-forming region…
Constraining globular cluster formation through studies of young massive clusters - V. ALMA observations of clusters in the Antennae
Some formation scenarios that have been put forward to explain multiple populations within Globular Clusters (GCs) require that the young massive cluster have large reservoirs of cold gas within…
From Star Complexes to the Field: Open Cluster Families
The currently accepted paradigm for star formation assumes that field stars are born in clusters. These are not formed in isolation but in stellar complexes born out of giant molecular clouds. In the…
Star formation in unbound giant molecular clouds: the origin of OB associations?
We investigate the formation of star clusters in an unbound giant molecular cloud, where the supporting kinetic energy is twice as large as the cloud's self-gravity. This cloud manages to form a…
A universal route for the formation of massive star clusters in giant molecular clouds
Young massive clusters (M ≥ 104Mʘ) are proposed modern-day analogues of the globular clusters that were products of extreme star formation in the early Universe1–4. The exact conditions and…

Physical Properties of the Molecular Clouds Found in a CO Survey of Regions Around 34 Open Clusters
Results are presented from a systematic search for CO emission from regions around 34 young open clusters in the outer Galaxy. The clusters have well-determined distances ranging from about 1 to 5…
Two Distant Embedded Clusters in the Outer Galaxy
We report the discovery of two distant embedded young stellar clusters located far in the outer Galaxy. The clusters are resolved in near-infrared images and seen as enhancements in the surface…
