The radial distribution of metallicity of star-forming galaxies in a galaxy cluster can inform us about the mass assembly and enrichment history of the galaxy cluster. ... Both galaxy clusters are cool-core clusters at redshift z т?? ... The gas-phase metallicity of star- forming galaxies in MACS1115+01 exhibit anti-correlation with projected distance т??0.15 ТБ 0.08 dex/Mpc, whereas the radial metallicity distribution of RXJ1532+30 is statistically flat (т??0.09 ТБ 0.12 dex/Mpc). ...

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. ...

Fundamental parameters and time evolution of mass loss are investigated for post-main-sequence stars in the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104). ... We confirm the cluster's distance as d = 4611+213 -200 pc and age as 12 ТБ 1 Gyr. Horizontal branch models appear to confirm that no more red giant branch mass loss occurs in 47 Tuc than in the more metal-poor Я? Centauri, though difficulties arise due to inconsistencies between the models. ...

... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...

It is known that UC X-ray binaries are more abundant in globular clusters compared to that found in Galactic fields (eg van der Sluys, Verbunt \ Pols 2005 and references therein). On the other hand no AM CVn systems have been found in globular clusters, while 20 are known in the Galactic field (for a review of AM CVn systems see Nelemans 2005). ...

... The Fornax Cluster galaxy FCC 35 shows an unusual multiply peaked integrated HI profile. We have now observed FCC 35 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array and have found a compact HI source with M_HI = 2.2 x 10^8 Msun; and a spatially overlapping complex of HI gas with the same mass. By combining optical observations with the HI data, we are able to identify FCC 35 as a young compact source of star formation with a nearby intergalactic HI cloud that is devoid of stars. ...
