Different techniques have been devised to separate multiple GC populations and perform dynamical analyses. ... Within this project, the PhD candidate will examine mock models of multiple GC populations around massive galaxies, devising `blinded' functional tests and comparing the possible sources of bias in different techniques....

... In our numerical experiments we have mainly considered two test objects provided by R. Hanisch and characterized by different types of brightness distribution; one of the objects simulates an elliptical galaxy and the other one a star cluster with size 512 512 and 256 256 pixels, respectively. ... The best performances in the restoration of the star cluster image are provided by the R-L algorithm and the LWPOS one; they give accuracies of 6%and 5%, respectively (see Table 1). ...

... 2001 March 11 . NGC 1818: A Young Globular Cluster . ... Explanation: Globular clusters once ruled the Milky Way . Back in the old days , back when our Galaxy first formed, perhaps thousands of globular clusters roamed our Galaxy . ... There are few, if any, young globular clusters in our Milky Way Galaxy because conditions are not ripe for more to form. ... Pictured above is a "young" globular cluster residing there: NGC 1818 . ... About APOD | ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Deep imaging at J , H , and K is required to identify all stellar objects, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects in the central region of the Orion Nebula Cluster down to masses comparable to that of Jupiter. This is required to establish the initial mass function, i.e., the number of stars of each mass that have formed, in this region of intense massive star formation. ... The fields of the GSAOI detectors are shown as four green squares in each frame. ...

... An automated process measures jet length away from optical position (green cross) out to red Xs, allowing robust measurements and classification To investigate the Fanaroff-Riley divide as radio jets evolve through the PD diagram, we consider environmental influences on FRI and FRII sources , and conversely study the feedback from well-constrained jets on the ICM Main Idea 100 kpc 100 kpc Classifying a sample of ...

... 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. ...

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...
