Swarms of tightly packed stars, numbering in the thousands to low millions, globular clusters are cosmic fossils, relics of the early times of our galaxy. Omega Centauri may actually be the core of a smaller galaxy ripped apart and assimilated by our own Milky Way in the distant past. ...

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. ...

... December 13, 1997 . The Coma Cluster of Galaxies . ... The Coma Cluster of Galaxies pictured is one of the densest clusters known - it contains thousands of galaxies . Each of these galaxies house billions of stars - just as our own Milky Way Galaxy does. ... In fact, the Coma Cluster is so big it takes light millions of years just to go from one side to the other! Most galaxies in Coma and other clusters are ellipticals , while most galaxies outside of clusters are spirals . ...

... This paper ( Burke et al. 2003 ) describes the creation of one such catalogue - the Southern Serendipitous High-redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster (SHARC) survey - which covers an area of 17.7 deg 2 and consists of 32 clusters with redshifts between 0.05 and 0.7 and X-ray luminosities between 7 x 10 42 and 4 x 10 44 erg/s: the high-redshift subsample contains 16 clusters with = 0.3 and X-ray luminosities greater than 2 x 10 43 erg/s (luminosities are quoted for the 0.5 - 2.0 keV energy band). ... 1997 ...

A Canadian and American team of Astronomers have used the 305-m wide Arecibo radio dish, the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope, to uncover a dozen new super-fast-spinning pulsars. The team directed their search for these rare and exotic stars by pointing the Arecibo radio telescope towards massive star clusters, called Globular Clusters, orbiting our Milky Way galaxy. ... One of the most exotic residents in the Globular cluster system are the millisecond pulsars. ...
