The emergence of globular clusters and globular-cluster-like dwarfs. [PDF]
Abstract Globular clusters (GCs) are among the oldest and densest stellar systems in the Universe, yet how they form remains a mystery1. Here we present a suite of cosmological simulations in which both dark-matter-free GCs and dark-matter-rich dwarf galaxies naturally emerge in the Standard Cosmology.

The Structure of Globular Clusters [PDF]
We report the preliminary results of a CCD surface photometry survey of a large fraction of all known Galactic globular clusters. About 1/5 of all surveyed clusters show a characteristic post-core-collapse (PCC) morphology. The PCC clusters are on average closer to the Galactic center than the King-model-like clusters.

Relativistic Binaries in Globular Clusters. [PDF]
Updated version, 58 pages, 10 figures. Minor revisions to sections 1, 2, and 4. Substantial additions to sections 3 (to incorporate new observations) and 5 (to include new population synthesis models).

THE FLATTENING OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS [PDF]
In the three nearest luminous galaxies, the Milky Way System, the Andromeda Galaxy and NGC 5128 the brightest globular clusters are rounder than the faintest ones. On the other hand (contrary to some previous results) the flattening of individual LMC clusters is found to be independent of their luminosities.

Diffusion and Mixing in Globular Clusters [PDF]
Abstract Collisional relaxation describes the stochastic process with which a self-gravitating system near equilibrium evolves in phase-space due to the fluctuating gravitational field of the system. The characteristic timescale of this process is called the relaxation time. In this paper, we highlight the difference between two measures

We review two new methods to determine the age of globular clusters (GCs). These two methods are more accurate than the classical isochrone fitting technique. The first method is based on the morphology of the horizontal branch and is independent of the distance modulus of the globular cluster.
