We investigate dust production and stellar mass loss in the Galactic globular cluster NGC 362. ... We detect several cluster members near the tip of the red giant branch (RGB) that exhibit infrared excesses indicative of circumstellar dust and find that dust is not present in measurable quantities in stars below the tip of the RGB. ... The two most extreme stars, variables V2 and V16, contribute up to 45% of the total cluster dust-traced mass loss. ...

... 2003 December 2 . NGC 869 NGC 884: A Double Open Cluster . ... Explanation: Most star clusters are singularly impressive. Open clusters NGC 869 and NGC 884, however, are doubly impressive. Also known as "h and chi Persei", this unusual double cluster , shown above , is bright enough to be seen from a dark location without even binoculars. Although their discovery surely predates written history , the Greek astronomer Hipparchus notably cataloged the "double cluster ". ... About APOD | ...

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. ...

... Programme . ... Abstract: Globular clusters can probe the formation history of galaxies by providing evidence for the chemical evolution and major episodes of star formation in their host galaxies, by examining their kinematic signatures, as well as their structural parameters. ... The giant elliptical NGC 5128 (Centaurus A), at a mere 4 Mpc away, gives us the only opportunity to study in extensive detail the globular cluster system of a recent merger galaxy. ...

I will present theresults from a deep, extended, planetary nebulae survey in a 0.5 sqdeg region centered on the brightest cluster galaxy NGC 4486 (M87) in the Virgo cluster core, carried out with SuprimeCam@Subaru and FLAMES-GIRAFFE@VLT. ... A substructure detected in the projected phase-space of the line-of-sight velocity vs. major axis distance for the M87 halo planetary nebulae provides evidence for the recent accretion event of a satellite galaxy with luminosity twice that of M33. ...
