Aims. Filamentary structures of early type stars are found to be a common feature of the Magellanic Clouds formed at an age of about 0.9-2*10^8 yr. As we go to younger ages these large structures appear fragmented and sooner or later form…

Integrated spectra have been obtained of 31 star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds (MC) and of 4 Galactic globular clusters. The spectra cover the wavelength range 3500 -- 4700 Angstroms at a resolution of 3.2 Angstroms FWHM. The MC…
