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. ...

Some astronomers ignore low-mass stars because they aren t very bright. However, stars with initial masses between about 0.8 Msun and 8 Msun (AGB stars) play an important role as the main site of the slow neutron capture (s-)process, which produces roughly half of the elements heavier than iron. ... From this work, we will see have a better understanding of AGB nucleosynthesis, the chemical evolution of globular clusters, and the properties of helium-rich stars. ...
