What Young Massive Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds teach us about Old Galactic Globular Clusters?

Abstract

Abstract. The Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) scenario ascribes the multiple populations in old Galactic Globular Clusters (GGC) to episodes of star formation in the gas contaminated by the ejecta of massive AGBs and super-AGBs of a first stellar population. The mass of these AGBs (4-8 M⊙) today populate the Young Massive Clusters (YMC) of the Magellanic Clouds, where rapid rotation and its slowing down play an important role in shaping the color-magnitude diagram features. Consequently, we must reconsider whether the rotational evolution of these masses affects the yields, and whether the resulting abundances are compatible with the chemical patterns observed in GGC. We show the first results of a differential analysis, by computing the hot bottom burning evolution of non-rotating models with increased CNO-Na abundances at the second dredge-up, following the results of MESA rotational models.
