Abstract:                                ! Free format text (please update)
    One of the most intriguing results from HST has been the
    discovery of ultraluminous star clusters in interacting and
    merging galaxies. These clusters have the luminosities,
    colors, and sizes that would be expected of young globular
    clusters produced by the interaction.  We propose to use the
    data in the HST Archive to determine how prevalent this
    phenomena is, and to determine whether similar clusters are
    produced in other environments. Three samples will be
    extracted and studied in a systematic and consistent manner:
    1) interacting and merging galaxies, 2) starburst galaxies, 3)
    a control sample of ``normal'' galaxies.  A preliminary search
    of the archives shows that there are at least 20 galaxies in
    each of these samples, and the number will grow by about 50 \
    observations become available. The data will be used to
    determine the luminosity function, color histogram , spatial
    distribution, and structural properties of the clusters using
    the same techniques employed in our study of NGC 7252 (``Atoms
    -for-Peace'' galaxy) and NGC 4038/4039 (``The Antennae'').
    Our ultimate goals are: 1) to understand how globular clusters
    form, and 2) to use the clusters as evolutionary tracers to
    unravel the histories of interacting galaxies.
