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

open access: yesOpen 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.

Calibrating X-Ray Binary Luminosity Functions via Optical Reconnaissance. II. The High-mass XLF and Globular Cluster Population of X-Ray Binaries in the Low Star-forming Spiral M81

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We characterize the optical counterparts to the compact X-ray source population within the nearby spiral galaxy M81 using multiband Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging data.

Neutron Stars in Globular Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007
AbstractDynamical interactions that occur between objects in dense stellar systems are particularly important for the question of formation of X-ray binaries. We present results of numerical simulations of 70 globular clusters with different dynamical properties and a total stellar mass of 2×107M⊙.

The Origin of Gamma-Rays from Globular Clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Fermi has detected gamma-ray emission from eight globular clusters. We suggest that the gamma-ray emission from globular clusters may result from the inverse Compton scattering between relativistic electrons/positrons in the pulsar wind of MSPs in the ...

Searching for New Globular Clusters in M31 with Gaia EDR3

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We have found 50 new globular cluster (GC) candidates around M31 with Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3), with the help of Pan-STARRS1 DR1 magnitudes and Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) images.

Variability in NGC 3201 Giant Stars

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present the analysis of 510 light curves in V and I bands of 255 giant stars in the globular cluster NGC 3201. Our aim is to expand the sample of new types of variables reported in a previous study. These variables show a short period ( P _V < 0.6 day)

Star Formation in Violent and Normal Evolutionary Phases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Mergers of massive gas-rich galaxies trigger violent starbursts that - over timescales of $> 100$ Myr and regions $> 10$ kpc - form massive and compact star clusters comparable in mass and radii to Galactic globular clusters.

Massive Black Holes in Star Clusters. II. Realistic Cluster Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We have followed the evolution of multi-mass star clusters containing massive central black holes through collisional N-body simulations done on GRAPE6.

The Supersonic Project: Star Formation in Early Star Clusters without Dark Matter

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The formation mechanism of globular clusters (GCs) has long been debated by astronomers. It was recently proposed that supersonically induced gas objects (SIGOs)–which formed in the early Universe due to the supersonic relative motion of baryons and dark

Globular Star Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1888
PHYSICAL aggregations of stars may be broadly divided into “globular” and “irregular” clusters. Although, as might have been expected, the line of demarcation between the two classes is by no means sharply drawn, each has its own marked peculiarities. We shall limit our attention, in the present article, to the first kind.
