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. ...

... Parkes radio telescope . ... Parkes | ... I will present our analysis of the galaxy population of an intermediate X-ray luminosity galaxy cluster from SDSS that has extensive spectroscopic coverage and Galaxy Zoo data available to elucidate the relationships between environment and galaxy stellar mass for an array of observationally important cluster populations that include the Butcher-Oemler blue fraction, the active galactic nucleus (AGN) fraction and a variety of spectroscopic classes of...
