Abstract

We are using NVO tools to obtain a large (N≃100), uniform (SDSS images, cross checked with HST images; analyzed using WESIX) database of super star clusters in nearby star-forming galaxies in order to address two fundamental astronomical questions: (i) Is the initial luminosity function of star clusters universal?; and (ii) What fraction of super star clusters is ‘missing’ in optical studies (i.e., are hidden by dust)?
