... Abstract . ... Harald Ebeling, University of Hawaii . ... Binaries in the Kuiper Belt: Probes of Solar System Formation and Evolution . ... UV Imaging to Determine the Location of Residual Star Formation in Galaxies Recently Arrived on the Red Sequence . ... Observations show that almost all well-defined cluster systems at low and moderate redshift have a significant population of elliptical galaxies which have red colours, indicative of old stellar populations and minimal current star formation. ...

... Illusion and Evolution in Galaxy Cluster Abell 2667 . ... Explanation: What's happening to the galaxies of cluster Abell 2667? ... To start, most of the yellowish objects in the above image from the Hubble Space Telescope are galactic members of a massive cluster of galaxies known as Abell 2667 . ... Light from this galaxy is gravitationally lensed by Abell 2667, appearing much like a distant person would appear through a wine glass. ... The Hercules Cluster of Galaxies . ... Galaxies Away . ...

... LMC Project Outline . NGC 1818 Initial Results . ... The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is uniquely suitable for the study of massive star clusters at all stages of evolution. By combining HST observations of these clusters with N-body models we hope to understand the origin and evolution of rich star clusters in our own Galaxy, in the LMC, and beyond. ... We aim to combine our HST observations with N-body models to understand the formation and evolution of globular clusters. ...

Hot subdwarfs are hots stars with masses somewhat less than that of the Sun. ... They are known as sdB stars because their spectra are dominated by hydrogen lines. ... Normally, a red giant will switch on core helium burning without losingthe layers of hydrogen around the helium core. sdOB stars are related to sdB stars, possibly being the sdB stars which have completed core helium burning and are evolving to become white dwarfs. ... Such stars are known as PG1159 stars and DO white dwarfs. ...
