This modified phase II file splits what visit 5 into two halves for easier
scheduling,each with four orbits. The second four orbits are now in
visit 7. Nothing else should have changed. Hopefully this will help us
to get these observations scheduled sooner. Thanks for your help!

Probing the Birth of Super Star Clusters with NICMOS
The formation of ``super star clusters" represents an extreme mode of star formation in the local universe. Star clusters with radii < 5pc and masses exceeding 10^4 solar masses are now known to be common in starbursts. These clusters are amazingly densely packed with massive stars, and can have a violent impact on their host galaxies and the surrounding IGM. The effects of massive star clusters perhaps were even more important in the earlier universe, when galaxy mergers and starbursts were common, and the formation of massive globular clusters was ubiquitous. However, our knowledge of the formation and early evolution of such massive clusters remains poorly understood, and observations have only begun to probe these stages. The near-IR fluxes and colors of natal clusters change dramatically in their early stages of evolution, providing important diagnostics. We will use NICMOS to explore the early evolution of massive star clusters through observations of a sample of nearby starburst galaxies containing the recently discovered ultra-young massive star clusters. First identified as compact optically-thick free-free radio sources, these natal clusters are still embedded in their birth material and obscured at optical wavelengths. Sensitive, high-resolution observations in the near-IR are critical for investigating the properties of these clusters as they evolve from being completely obscured by their natal clouds to fully emerged and optically visible. NICMOS F160W, F205W, F187N, and F190N (roughly H, K, and Pa-alpha) images will allow us to determine their ages, extinctions, ionizing fluxes, embedded stellar masses, and the morphological relationship between radio, mid-IR, and optically visible clusters. These results will ultimately provide insight into the earliest stages of super star cluster evolution and the properties of massive star formation throughout the universe.
This program observes 5 galaxies in the near-IR with NICMOS using the NIC2 camera in multiaccum mode. Observations at each wavelength include several dithered positions. All observations at wavelengths longer than 1.8um chop to background.
