Hot stars in globular clusters [PDF]
, 1995 Globular clusters are ideal laboratories to study the evolution of low-mass stars. In this review, I shall concentrate on two types of hot stars observed in globular clusters: horizontal branch stars and UV bright stars. The third type, the white dwarfs, are covered by Bono in this volume.

THE GLOBULAR CLUSTER NGC 5286. II. VARIABLE STARS [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2010 We present the results of a search for variable stars in the globular cluster NGC 5286, which has recently been suggested to be associated with the Canis Major dwarf spheroidal galaxy. 57 variable stars were detected, only 19 of which had previously been known.

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 ...

Search for variable stars in globular clusters [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1986 A program to search poorly studied southern globular clusters for variable stars is being carried out on the 1-m Yale telescope at CTIO. Recently two galactic bulge clusters of moderately high metallicity have been found to contain RR Lyrae variables; a cluster of similar metallicity a little farther from the galactic center apparently has none.

Field star diffusion in globular clusters [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1992 A new interaction of globular clusters with galactic field stars, the deceleration (by dynamical friction) of high-velocity field stars diffusing through individual globular clusters, is investigated. This frictional interaction contributes to cluster heating and, in conjunction with disc shocking and other mechanisms, helps to reflate the evolution of

Star and Globular Cluster Formation in Mergers [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996 The high burst strengths and star formation efficiencies found with spectrophotmetric and chemical evolutionary synthesis for mergers of gas-rich spirals led us to expect the formation of a secondary population of globular clusters (GC) with enhanced metallicity (F. – v. A. & Gerhard 1994, A&A 285, 751 u.775).

Star Cluster Evolution: From Young Massive Star Clusters to Old Globulars [PDF]
, 2009 Young, massive star clusters are the most notable and significant end products of violent star-forming episodes triggered by galaxy collisions, mergers, and close encounters. The question remains, however, whether or not at least a fraction of the compact YMCs seen in abundance in extragalactic starbursts, are potentially the progenitors of globular ...
