This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows NGC 6388, a dynamically middle-aged globular cluster in the Milky Way. ... A new study using Hubble data has discovered that globular clusters of the same age can have dramatically different distributions of blue straggler stars within them, suggesting that clusters can age at substantially different rates.

... Resolved Stellar Populations Globular Clusters . Galaxies are made of stars, gas and the illusive dark matter. ... Star clusters are the simplest form of the stellar population. ... Old globular clusters are easily observed at great distances and can be used as probes of the early stages of star formation history in galaxies where individual stars cannot be resolved. My research interests are centered on the studies of resolved stellar populations and (old) star clusters in nearby galaxies. ...

... Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are located in external galaxies, their X-ray luminosities (10 39 - 10 41 erg/s) are thousand times greater than those of brightest black holes in the Galaxy. ULXs may be supercritical accretion disks around black holes of stellar masses (~10 Solar masses) like that in SS433, or they may be a hypothetical intermediate-mass black holes (hundreds - thousands Solar masses) with standard accretion disks. ... 2) The ULX progenitors were ejected from the star clusters. ...
