Milky Way Star Clusters and Gaia: A Review of the Ongoing Revolution [PDF]
Universe, 2022 The unprecedented quality of the astrometric measurements obtained with the ESA Gaia spacecraft have initiated a revolution in Milky Way astronomy. Studies of star clusters in particular have been transformed by the precise proper motions and parallaxes ...

The evolution of star clusters: the resolved-star approach
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2009 We present the first results of a new technique to detect, locate, and characterize young dissolving star clusters. Using HST/ACS archival images of the nearby galaxy IC2574, we performed stellar PSF photometry and selected the most massive stars as our first test sample.

The formation of star clusters [PDF]
, 2003 The ability of HST to resolve objects ten times smaller than possible from the ground has rejuvenated the study of young star clusters. A recurrent morphological theme found in nearby resolved sytems is the observation of young (typically 1 - 10 Myr), massive (10**3 - 10**4 M_sun), compact (rho ~ 10**5 M_sun/pc**3) clusters which have evacuated the gas

Binary Star Evolution in Different Environments: Filamentary, Fractal, Halo, and Tidal Tail Clusters
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Using membership of 85 open clusters from previous studies based on Gaia Data Release 3 data, we identify binary candidates in the color–magnitude diagram for systems with mass ratio q > 0.4.

The Astrophysical JournalWith Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations of NGC 628 spanning 0.3–7.7 μ m, we fit the spectral energy distributions of over 12,000 optically selected star clusters, emerging young star clusters (eYSCs), and MIRI ...

Searching for New Globular Clusters in M31 with Gaia EDR3
The 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.

The Astronomical JournalTrumpler 5 is a populous, intermediate-age (∼3 Gyr), metal-poor ([Fe/H] ∼ −0.4) open cluster, located at a distance of approximately ∼3050 pc. This is a well-studied cluster for its broadened main-sequence (MS) and blue straggler star (BSS) population ...

The Astrophysical JournalMost of the dynamical mass loss from star clusters is thought to be caused by the time variability of the tidal field (“tidal shocks”). Systematic studies of tidal shocks have been hampered by the fact that each tidal history is unique, implying both a ...

Open Cluster Study Using Gaia. I. Membership and Cluster Properties
The Astrophysical JournalStar clusters are interesting laboratories to study star formation, single and binary stellar evolution, and stellar dynamics. We have used the exquisite data from Gaia’s Data Release 3 (DR3) to study 21 relatively rich and nearby open clusters with ...
