摘要：
The young populous cluster NGC 1866 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which is probably one of the most massive objects formed in the LMC during the last similar to 3 Gyr, appears to have an unexpectedly high mass-to-light ratio. From its velocity dispersion Fischer and coworkers find its mass to be (1.35 +/- 0.25) x 10(5) M.. The luminosity of this cluster is M-v = - 8.93 +/- 0.13, corresponding to L-v = (3.2 +/- 0.4) x 10(5) L-v,L-.. This yields M/L-v = 0.42 +/- 0.09 in solar units. For a cluster of age 0.1 Gyr, such a relatively high mass-to-light ratio requires a mass spectrum with an exponent x = 1.72 +/- 0.09, or x = 1.75 +/- 0.09 if mass loss by evolving stars is taken into account.
