Young Star Clusters: Progenitors of Globular Clusters!? [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 2005
AbstractStar cluster formation is a major mode of star formation in the extreme conditions of interacting galaxies and violent starbursts. Young clusters are observed to form in a variety of such galaxies, a substantial number resembling the progenitors of globular clusters in mass and size, but with significantly enhanced metallicity.

On the absence of symbiotic stars in globular clusters [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
ABSTRACT Even though plenty of symbiotic stars (SySts) have been found in the Galactic field and nearby galaxies, not a single one has ever been confirmed in a Galactic globular cluster (GC). We investigate the lack of such systems in GCs for the first time by analysing 144 GC models evolved with the mocca code, which have different ...

Massive star archeology in globular clusters [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2014
AbstractGlobular clusters are among the oldest structures in the Universe and they host today low-mass stars and no gas. However, there has been a time when they formed as gaseous objects hosting a large number of short-lived, massive stars. Many details on this early epoch have been depicted recently through unprecedented dissection of low-mass ...

EVOLUTION OF THE MASS AND LUMINOSITY FUNCTIONS OF GLOBULAR STAR CLUSTERS [PDF]

, 2016
We reexamine the dynamical evolution of the mass and luminosity functions of globular star clusters (GCMF and GCLF). Fall & Zhang (2001, FZ01) showed that a power-law MF, as commonly seen among young cluster systems, would evolve by dynamical processes ...

Dynamics of Stars and Globular Clusters in M87 [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2001
We examine the dynamics of the stars and globular clusters in the nearby giant galaxy M87 and constrain the mass distribution, using all the available data over a large range of radii, including higher-order moments of the stellar line-of-sight velocity distributions and the discrete velocities of over two hundred globular clusters.

Can Neutron-star Mergers Explain the r-process Enrichment in Globular Clusters? [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2019
Star-to-star dispersion of r-process elements has been observed in a significant number of old, metal-poor globular clusters (GCs). We investigate early-time neutron-star mergers as the mechanism for this enrichment.

Blue hook stars in globular clusters [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2009
Abstract Blue hook (BHk) stars are a rare class of horizontal branch stars that have so far been found in only very few Galactic globular clusters (GCs). The dominant mechanism for producing these objects is currently still unclear.

First Evidence of Multi-iron Subpopulations in the Bulge Fossil Fragment Candidate Liller 1

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In the context of a project aimed at characterizing the properties of the so-called Bulge Fossil Fragments (the fossil remnants of the bulge formation epoch), here we present the first determination of the metallicity distribution of Liller 1.

Massive Stars and Globular Cluster Formation [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2007
We first present chemodynamical simulations to investigate how stellar winds of massive stars influence early dynamical and chemical evolution of forming globular clusters (GCs). In our numerical models, GCs form in turbulent,high-density giant molecular clouds (GMCs), which are embedded in a massive dark matter halo at high redshifts. We show how high-

Future of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars from the Experience of Recent Name-lists

Open Astronomy, 2021
We briefly outline the history of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) and the New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars (NSV catalogue). Recently, we have completed a revision of the NSV catalogue.
