Target names are used to provide unique designations for the targets that will be used throughout the proposal. These names will generally also be used in Phase II, and ultimately to designate targets in the HST data archive. ... This facility will be most useful if consistent naming conventions are used. ... If a target is not contained in these catalogs, other catalog designations may be used (e.g., 4U X-ray catalog designation, Villanova white-dwarf catalog number, etc.) ... Target Type . ...

However others are less pessimistic and it has even been claimed that the mysterious ?Wow! signal? received in 1977 originated from the direction M55.б  Sadly, this still unexplained pulse of radio energy originated from a location rather to the northwest of M55 so I doubt if the source was this cluster (if indeed the signal was genuinely of extraterrestrial origin). ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...

. N OTE: . Only clusters with R<60 kpc were used to compute the spatial parameters and metallicity gradients for all subsystems except the corona. The numbers in parantheses give the number of clusters for which the corresponding parameter is known. The X O scale length of the old halo is strongly distorted by the observed asymmetry of the distribution of the corresponding clusters projected onto the XY plane ( Fig. 4А ) . discussion in the text | previous table .
