Notes. This list is compiled from Portegies Zwart et al. (2010; see their Tables 24) where the references for the data of the individual clusters are given. All these stellar systems are ≲ 5 times younger than their present dynamical crossing time, τcr (i.e. they are dynamically young), which implies that they may or may not be gravitationally bound objects.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
