Abstract: Direct observations of the products of binary interactions are sparse, yet they provide important insights on the outcome of the interaction and the physics at play. Young and intermediate-age star clusters are the ideal tool to search for, and characterize such interaction products and allow for a detailed comparison to theoretical predictions. We here report on integral field spectroscopy obtained with MUSE for several such clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
