... BLUE STRAGGLER STARS are unusually hot and bright stars found in the cores of ancient star clusters known as globulars. ... BACKGROUND (from wikipedia): Blue straggler stars are stars in open or globular clusters that are hotter and bluer than other cluster stars having the same luminosity. ... There is evidence in favor of this view, notably that blue straggler stars appear to be much more common in dense regions of clusters, especially in the cores of globular clusters. ...

This animation shows a galaxy cluster with two mass concentrations (the pink shading indicates the projected mass density) lensing a background field of faint blue galaxies. ... Inside the Einstein ring radius one has radial arcs, and right in the center of the cluster there are demagnified images. The highest magnifications occur at the Einstein ring radius, giving the large tangential arcs. ... Abell 2218 and CL2244-02 are clusters with tangential arcs. ... Tutorial : Part 1 | Part 2 | ...
