ATMoB "Open Cluster Observing Award " Guidelines Purpose: To promote observing among the membership of the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston through participation in the Open Clusters Observing Awards program. Introduction: This awards program is oriented towards visually observing open clusters above magnitude 9.9. ... It turns out that a very unprejudiced and convenient method to dermine the limiting magnitude is to count the number of visible stars in certain areas on the sky. ...

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 study of the Large-scale structure of the Universe and measurements of the Dark Energy equation of state; The exploration of the growth and cosmological evolution of supermassive Black holes in the Universe. ... In course of the all sky survey SRG will discover about 100 000 galaxy clusters and 3 million AGNs. Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bounded objects in the Universe and are best explored through the study of X-ray emission from the hot intergalactic gas. ... 2016 IKI RAN ...
