. F IGURE . 2. The distribution of globular clusters projected onto the XY [(a) and (c)] and YZ [(b) and (d)] planes for metal-rich clusters of the thick disk with [Fe/H] -1.0 [(a) and (b)] and metal-poor clusters of the halo [(c) and (d)]. The closed curves are upper envelopes drawn by eye. Clusters lying far from the central concentrations in the diagrams are outlined and their numbers indicated. discussion in the text | previous figure | next figure .

A Canadian and American team of Astronomers have used the 305-m wide Arecibo radio dish, the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope, to uncover a dozen new super-fast-spinning pulsars. The team directed their search for these rare and exotic stars by pointing the Arecibo radio telescope towards massive star clusters, called Globular Clusters, orbiting our Milky Way galaxy. ... One of the most exotic residents in the Globular cluster system are the millisecond pulsars. ...

... The routines implemented are CLUSTER which has 8 options for hierarchical clustering and PARTITION which carries out non--hierarchical clustering. ... The former is non--hierarchical clustering or partitioning. The latter is hierarchical clustering. Brief consideration will show that a sequence of n-1 agglomerations are needed to successively merge the two closest objects and/or clusters at each stage, so that we have a set of n (singleton) clusters, n-1 clusters, ..., 2 clusters, 1 cluster. ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...

... His adult life was devoted to the study of the discipline that he loved, astronomy, and to the promotion of the Observatory at Mount Stromlo, and of The Australian National University. ... He then won an ANU Scholarship to study at Stromlo, and embarked on his PhD there, in spite of the fact that the (then) Commonwealth Observatory's transfer to the ANU was still a few years off. ... Alex had a great love for Stromlo and the ANU. ...

On 19/20 October 1995 we used GRIM II to attempt spectroscopy of the 2.3 micron CO absorption band in stellar clusters. ... Read Noise Our typical backgrounds in 60s were about 100 DN (about 500 e), and so for faint objects our noise is utterly dominated by the read noise of about 110 e. We can think of three ways to improve this situation: integrate longer; reduce the read noise; or implement multiple reads. ... Flats The quartz lamps were too dim for flats. ...
