The Star Cluster Populations of Compact Galaxy Groups

Star clusters are ideal tracers of star formation activity in systems outside the volume that can be studied using individual, resolved stars. These unresolved clusters span orders of magnitude in brightness and mass, and their formation is linked to the overall star formation in their host galaxy. In that sense, the age distribution of a cluster population is a good proxy of the overall star formation history of the host. This talk presents a comparative study of clusters in seven compact galaxy groups. The aim is to use the cluster age distributions to infer the star formation history of these groups and link these to a proposed evolutionary sequence for compact galaxy groups.
