Data Handling and Products . ... ESO Data . ... Studies of the Planck data set with optical and sub-mm follow-up observations give new insights about the early assembly of the first clusters, and the later evolution of their gas content as well as of their population of star-forming galaxies. ...

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. ...

Although most white dwarfs do indeed fade away to become stellar cinders, gigantic crystals of carbon and oxygen, a few have just enough hydrogen and helium fuel left on their surface to be re-ignited. ...

Next: Radiopulsars as Sources of Up: Cosmic Rays and Evolution Previous: Cosmic Rays and Evolution . Presently, there is little doubt that galactic CR can be generated at rapidly expanding shock fronts produced by supernova explosions. ... Statistical properties of radiopulsars in our Galaxy indicate a formation rate of NS of about 1 per 10-20 years in the present cosmological epoch, while direct astronomical observations have so far not detected supernova explosions at this high rate. ...

... The main field of our team interests is the researching of galaxy clusters as well as single nearby galaxies. The galaxies and galaxy clusters, being gravitationaly bound and reliably distinguishable systems, allow us to determine their global physical characteristics. At the same time they are integrated as elements into higher level spatial structures or systems. ... Вack to main homepage . ...

... 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. ... We aim to combine our HST observations with N-body models to understand the formation and evolution of globular clusters. ...
