Multiple Populations in Star Clusters
Universe, 2022 We review the multiple population (MP) phenomenon of globular clusters (GCs): i.e., the evidence that GCs typically host groups of stars with different elemental abundances and/or distinct sequences in photometric diagrams.

The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2020 AbstractWe review the current knowledge about nuclear star clusters (NSCs), the spectacularly dense and massive assemblies of stars found at the centers of most galaxies. Recent observational and theoretical works suggest that many NSC properties, including their masses, densities, and stellar populations, vary with the properties of their host ...

NUCLEAR STAR CLUSTERS FROM CLUSTERED STAR FORMATION [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 11 pages, 12 figures, revised version corrects a numerical error that lead to a moderate overestimate of NSC masses; conclusions remain ...

A Study of Be Stars in Clusters [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1976 Calibrated spectrograms at Hα of 566 stars in 29 young galactic clusters led to the detection of 41 Be stars in clusters. Using cluster membership we have inferred ages and intrinsic (B – V) colors of Be stars to permit a discussion of their evolutionary states.Rotating stars can become Be stars in their early hydrogen burning evolution away from the ...

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2010 Dynamical evolution plays a key role in shaping the current properties of star clusters and star cluster systems. A detailed understanding of the effects of evolutionary processes is essential to be able to disentangle the properties that result from dynamical evolution from those imprinted at the time of cluster formation.

, 1994 This review concentrates almost entirely on globular star clusters. It emphasises the increasing realisation that few of the traditional problems of star cluster astronomy can be studied in isolation: the influence of the Galaxy affects dynamical evolution deep in the core, and the spectrum of stellar masses; in turn the evolution of the core ...

Probing the Faintest Stars in a Globular Star Cluster [PDF]
Science, 2006 NGC 6397 is the second closest globular star cluster to the Sun. Using 5 days of time on the Hubble Space Telescope, we have constructed an ultradeep color-magnitude diagram for this cluster. We see a clear truncation in each of its two major stellar sequences.

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009 AbstractThe centers of most galaxies in the local Universe are occupied by compact, barely resolved sources. Based on their structural properties, position in the Fundamental Plane, and integrated spectra, these sources clearly have a stellar origin. They are therefore called ‘nuclear star clusters’ (NCs) or ‘stellar nuclei’.
