Stellar Clusters are very useful laboratories for empirically studying stellar evolution. ... All cluster stars are at the same distance . All cluster stars have the same physical age . ... CM diagram Young Cluster In this case we see the Main Sequence fully represented. The blue dots represent massive stars with short main sequence lifetimes. ... Thus, identifying the most massive star which is still on the main sequence is an effective means of determining the age of a stellar cluster. ...

Describes how spatial region boundaries are handled. The golden rule for spatial region filtering was first enunciated by Leon VanSpeybroeck in 1986: . ... With this in mind, the rules for determining whether a boundary image pixel or table row are assigned to a region are defined below. For image filtering, pixels whose center is inside the boundary are included. ... That is, an row is inside the boundary without regard to its integerized pixel value. ...
