Abstract
We report on a study of super star cluster (SSC) candidates in the star-forming regions of a representative sample of local luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) using KS-band near-infrared (NIR) adaptive optics imaging with GEMINI/ALTAIR and VLT/NACO instruments. The evolution of the cosmic star formation rate (CSFR) indicates its rapid decline in the local Universe.
