Studies of the Planck data set with optical and sub-mm follow-up observations give new insights about the early assembly of the first clusters, and the later evolution of their gas content as well as of their population of star-forming galaxies. ...

... The large body of near infrared observations presented in Testi et al. (1997; 1998) are analysed with the aim of characterizing the young stellar clusters surrounding Herbig Ae/Be stars. The results confirm the tendency of early Be stars to be surrounded by dense clusters of lower mass "companions", while Ae stars are never found to be associated with conspicuous groups. ... Only the most massive stars (10-20Msun) are found to be associated with dense (10^3 pc^-3) stellar clusters. ...

... 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. ...

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. ...

... The overall globular cluster population is divided by gap in the metallicity function at [Fe/H]=-1.0 into two discrete groups with well-defined maxima at [Fe/H]=-1.60?0.03 dex, and -0.60?0.04 dex. ... Clusters with extremely blue horizontal branches occupy a spherical volume of radius ~ 9 kpc, have high rotational velocities ( V rot =77?33 km/s), have substantial and equal negative radial and vertical metallicity gradients, and are, on average, the oldest group (the old-halo subsystem). ...

... For this paper: postscript PPEUC CMB index 1 Introduction.. ... We report on a 16 ks X-ray observation with the ROSAT PSPC towards the center of a CMB decrement detected by Jones et al. (1997) in the direction of the quasar pair PC1643+4631 A & B. At the position of the decrement we find no evidence for emission by hot gas which could give rise to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. ... We conclude that the CMB decrement is not a typical galaxy cluster. ... 2 The ROSAT PSPC observation . ...

... The most powerful and widely used methods to calculate the scattering matrix of a fractal cluster are based on the coupled dipoles methods (e.g. the Discrete Dipole Approximation, DDA) and the theory of light scattering by a cluster of spherical particles [2-4]. ...
