## Abstract We estimate the dynamical masses of several young (__β__ 10 Myr) massive star clusters in two interacting galaxies, NGC 4038/4039 (βThe Antennaeβ) and NGC 1487, under the assumption of virial equilibrium. These are compared with photometric mass estimates. A dynamical mass substantially
