Scientific paper

"Super star clusters" are unusually compact, luminous star clusters found in galaxies with high star formation rates. They are barely resolvable with ground-based telescopes and have luminosity densities up to 1000 times higher than normal giant H II regions. They evidently represent an extreme mode of star formation, perhaps related to globular cluster formation during protogalaxy collapse. We propose to take advantage of the superb resolution of the Planetary Camera to study the structure of selected super star clusters and their surroundings with four color imagery.
