... This paper ( Burke et al. 2003 ) describes the creation of one such catalogue - the Southern Serendipitous High-redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster (SHARC) survey - which covers an area of 17.7 deg 2 and consists of 32 clusters with redshifts between 0.05 and 0.7 and X-ray luminosities between 7 x 10 42 and 4 x 10 44 erg/s: the high-redshift subsample contains 16 clusters with = 0.3 and X-ray luminosities greater than 2 x 10 43 erg/s (luminosities are quoted for the 0.5 - 2.0 keV energy band). ... 1997 ...

To start, most of the yellowish objects in the above image from the Hubble Space Telescope are galactic members of a massive cluster of galaxies known as Abell 2667 . ... Light from this galaxy is gravitationally lensed by Abell 2667, appearing much like a distant person would appear through a wine glass. ... The Hercules Cluster of Galaxies . ... Galaxies Away . ...

Some astronomers ignore low-mass stars because they aren t very bright. However, stars with initial masses between about 0.8 Msun and 8 Msun (AGB stars) play an important role as the main site of the slow neutron capture (s-)process, which produces roughly half of the elements heavier than iron. ... From this work, we will see have a better understanding of AGB nucleosynthesis, the chemical evolution of globular clusters, and the properties of helium-rich stars. ...

. Authors: A.A. Suchkov , V.A. Marakov . Journal: Pis'ma Astron. Zh., 1976, v.2, p.38-385. Metallisity function of globular clusters in the Galaxy is constructed. It is found to have three "humps". This leads to a conclusion that there were three metal enrichment outbursts during the period of globular cluster formation. The constraints on the nature of metal sourses and on the early evolution of Galaxy are considered.

These are questions about "stellar evolution", the history of stars as they are transformed by nuclear processes deep inside. ... Most of what we know about stellar evolution comes from computer models of stars. ... We learn about the evolution of high-mass stars from HR diagrams of young galactic open clusters, and the evolution of low-mass metal-poor stars from old globular clusters. ...

... The analysis shows, that asteroid ­ rubble pile loses its fast fragments in no time but the retaining fragments forms a compact structure immersed in dust ­ gas atmosphere, created by interaction of interplanetary medium with dispersed product of collisional evolution of asteroid. By interaction of an asteroid ­ rubble pile with interplanetary medium structures asteroid can increase its brightness on account of blowed up dust simulating phenomenon of distant comet's brightening. ...

... 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. ...
