... Programme . ... Abstract: Globular clusters can probe the formation history of galaxies by providing evidence for the chemical evolution and major episodes of star formation in their host galaxies, by examining their kinematic signatures, as well as their structural parameters. ... The giant elliptical NGC 5128 (Centaurus A), at a mere 4 Mpc away, gives us the only opportunity to study in extensive detail the globular cluster system of a recent merger galaxy. ...

... Kalirai and Harvey Richer of the University of British Columbia led the study, which began as an investigation of a globular star cluster in the Milky Way galaxy known as NGC 6397. ... Within the population of stars and galaxies behind NGC 6397, the Hubble image revealed a large elliptical galaxy that contains several hundred globular clusters. ... In fact, a single giant star in NGC 6397 appears 10 million times brighter than one of the distant globular clusters. ...

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. ...

The fundamental properties of early-type galaxies in the Coma Cluster S.A.W. Moore et al. University of Durham, U.K. Co-authors: Lucey, J.R.; Colless, M.; Kuntschner, H.; Bower, R.; Davies, R.L. Early-type galaxies in clusters exhibit remarkably tight correlations between their global properties, e.g. the colour- magnitude relation, the Mg2 - relation and the Fundamental Plane. ... In addition, these data provide a baseline for evolutionary studies of distant clusters. ...

... Research . ... I aim to understand the variety of processes that have driven galaxy formation and mass assembly across cosmological history via the resolved (star-by-star) study of nearby systems - in particular the Milky Way and Andromeda (especially their stellar halos and globular cluster populations), the Magellanic Clouds, and the myriad of smaller dwarfs that inhabit the "Local Group".б  . ... Globular clusters are fascinating objects in their own right. ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... Large statistical samples of young stars across star-forming regions are needed to trigger a breakthrough in our understanding, but most optical studies are based on a wide variety of spectrographs and analysis methods, which introduces large biases. ... Because our approach does not rely on spectroscopy, it can easily be applied to homogeneously study the large number of clusters for which Gaia will yield membership lists....

ABSTRACT: Pulsars in globular clusters, being distant and weak radio sources, are diфcult objects to observe. ... Even though they are likely to be recycled, the globular cluster pulsars do not seem to share the same formation scenario as the recycled pulsars in our Galaxy. ...

... LMC Project Outline . NGC 1818 Initial Results . ... The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is uniquely suitable for the study of massive star clusters at all stages of evolution. By combining HST observations of these clusters with N-body models we hope to understand the origin and evolution of rich star clusters in our own Galaxy, in the LMC, and beyond. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...

... 7.1 Introduction to media types . ... 7.3 Recognized media types . 7.3.1 Media groups One of the most important features of style sheets is that they specify how a document is to be presented on different media: on the screen, on paper, with a speech synthesizer, with a braille device, etc. Certain CSS properties are only designed for certain media (e.g., the 'cue-before' property for aural user agents). ... For example, the 'font-size' property is useful both for screen and print media. ...

... 2013 January 3 . Open Star Clusters M35 and NGC 2158 . ... Explanation: Open clusters of stars can be near or far, young or old, and diffuse or compact. ... Bright blue stars frequently distinguish younger open clusters. ... NGC 2158 is four times more distant than M35 , over 10 times older, and much more compact with many more stars in roughly the same volume of space. NGC 2158's bright blue stars have self-destructed , leaving cluster light to be dominated by older and yellower stars. ...
