Globular cluster star classification: Application to M13 [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2013 Starting from recent determination of Fe, O, Na abundances on a restricted sample (N = 67) of halo and thick disk stars, a natural and well motivated selection criterion is defined for the classification globular cluster stars. An application is

THE FLATTENING OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 1983 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.

The Milky Way Bulge Extra-tidal Star Survey: BH 261 (AL 3)
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The Milky Way Bulge extra-tidal star survey is a spectroscopic survey with the goal of identifying stripped globular cluster stars from inner Galaxy clusters.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 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.

A Photometric Survey of Globular Cluster Systems in Brightest Cluster Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Hubble Space Telescope imaging for 26 giant early-type galaxies, all drawn from the MAST archive, is used to carry out photometry of their surrounding globular cluster (GC) systems. Most of these targets are Brightest Cluster Galaxies and their distances

The youngest globular clusters [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2014 It is likely that all stars are born in clusters, but most clusters are not bound and disperse. None of the many protoclusters in our Galaxy are likely to develop into long-lived bound clusters. The super star clusters (SSCs) seen in starburst galaxies are more massive and compact and have better chances of survival. The birth and early development of

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a photometric analysis of globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104) using near-IR imaging data from the GeMS/GSAOI Galactic Globular Cluster Survey (G4CS), which is in operation at Gemini-South telescope.

THE ABUNDANCES IN THE STELLAR ATMOSPHERES IN THE M13 GLOBULAR CLUSTER
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 The chemical composition of 5 stars' atmospheres in globular cluster M13 and 2 halo stars taken from literature have been computed. A slight excess of O and deficit of Mg have been defined for globular cluster stars.

Diffusion and Mixing in Globular Clusters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 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
