Comparing young massive clusters and their progenitor clouds in the Milky Way

Young massive clusters (YMCs) have central stellar mass surface densities exceeding 104 M⊙ pc−2. It is currently unknown whether the stars formed at such high (proto)stellar densities. We compile a sample of gas clouds in the Galaxy which have sufficient gas mass within a radius of a few parsecs to...
