Scientific paper

A large fraction of the violent star formation in starburst galaxies takes place in ``Super Star Clusters'' (SSC). These clusters are much richer than those seen in our galaxy, and may be the progenitors of globular clusters. We propose to observe 4 rich young clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud. These clusters are almost as rich as those in starburst galaxies and are close enough to be resolved with Chandra. Our science goals are to characterize the X-ray emission from these clusters, search for optical and IR counterparts, constrain the onset of binary formation, and search for Intermediate Mass X-ray Objects which may be the progenitors of Millisecond Pulsars in globular clusters.
