Dynamical masses of young star clusters in interacting galaxies

Using ISAAC on VLT-ANTU and UVES on VLT-KUEYEN we have begun a program to measure stellar velocity dispersions of young star clusters in merging and interacting galaxies. In this contribution, we present results for clusters in two interacting galaxies - NGC 4038/39 and NGC 1487. Combining the measu...
