Multiple stellar populations in globular clusters

N Bastian, C Lardo - Annual review of Astronomy and …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Globular clusters (GCs) exhibit star-to-star variations in specific elements (eg, He, C, N, O,
Na, Al) that bear the hallmark of high-temperature H-burning. These abundance variations …

Nuclear star clusters

N Neumayer, A Seth, T Böker - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2020 - Springer
We 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 …

Multiple populations in star clusters

AP Milone, AF Marino - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
We review the multiple population (MP) phenomenon of globular clusters (GCs): ie, the
evidence that GCs typically host groups of stars with different elemental abundances and/or …

The Hubble Space Telescope UV Legacy Survey of Galactic globular clusters – IX. The Atlas of multiple stellar populations

AP Milone, G Piotto, A Renzini… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We use high-precision photometry of red-giant-branch (RGB) stars in 57 Galactic globular
clusters (GCs), mostly from the 'Hubble Space Telescope (HST) UV Legacy Survey of …

What is a globular cluster? An observational perspective

R Gratton, A Bragaglia, E Carretta, V D'Orazi… - The Astronomy and …, 2019 - Springer
Globular clusters are large and dense agglomerate of stars. At variance with smaller clusters
of stars, they exhibit signs of some chemical evolution. At least for this reason, they are …

Star Clusters Near and Far: Tracing Star Formation Across Cosmic Time

A Adamo, P Zeidler, JMD Kruijssen, M Chevance… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
Star clusters are fundamental units of stellar feedback and unique tracers of their host
galactic properties. In this review, we will first focus on their constituents, ie detailed insight …

N-body modelling of globular clusters: masses, mass-to-light ratios and intermediate-mass black holes

H Baumgardt - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We have determined the masses and mass-to-light ratios of 50 Galactic globular clusters by
comparing their velocity dispersion and surface brightness profiles against a large grid of …

In-situ versus accreted Milky Way globular clusters: a new classification method and implications for cluster formation

V Belokurov, A Kravtsov - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We present a new scheme for the classification of the in-situ and accreted globular clusters
(GCs). The scheme uses total energy E and z-component of the orbital angular momentum …

A single model for the variety of multiple-population formation (s) in globular clusters: a temporal sequence

F D'Antona, E Vesperini, A D'Ercole… - Monthly Notices of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We explain the multiple populations recently found in the 'prototype'globular cluster (GC)

Multiple populations in globular clusters and their parent galaxies

AP Milone, AF Marino, GS Da Costa… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
The 'chromosome map'diagram (ChM) proved a successful tool to identify and characterize
