... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

... We describe a tool in the pcIPS environment for finishing the job of globular cluster photometry started by DAOPHOT II: starting with the instrumental magnitudes derived by DAOPHOT II, DASHA can automatically produce final color­magnitude diagrams. ... A typical data set can consist of several dozen CCD frames produced with two or more different filters and at different exposures, with anything from a few hundred to a few thousand stars present in each frame. ...

NGC 5986, a little-studied southern-hemisphere globular cluster, is remarkable in containing two very luminous A-F type stars, discovered by me in the 1970's. These objects are probably in their final evolution off the asymptotic giant branch. ... Determining the distance to NGC 5986 will help calibrate the absolute brightnesses of post-AGB A-F stars. ... NGC 5986: last updated 2001 December 20 . Mike Siegel and I have found a post-AGB star in the globular cluster M79 (NGC 1904). ...

Peremennye Zvezdy ( Variable Stars ) 26 , No. ... Our BVR CCD photometric study of the globular cluster NGC 7006 permitted us to find two new suspected RR Lyrae variables. A cluster chart is presented with the position of known and suspected variables marked. ... According to the Catalogue of Variable Stars in Globular Clusters (Clement et al., 2001), it contains 76 variables, most of which are RR Lyrae variables, the RR1 to RR0 ratio being 8:55. ... for suspected and some of known variable stars. ...
