Abstract:The nuclear stellar disk has been the most prolific star-forming region in the Milky Way over the past sim 30 million years. Notably, the cumulative mass of the three clusters currently found in the nuclear stellar disk, the Quintuplet, the Arches, and the Nuclear clusters, amounts to just 10<!PCT!> of the total anticipated mass of young stars that formed in this period. This discrepancy, known as the missing cluster problem, is attributed to factors such as high stellar density and tidal forces. Traces… Show more
