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 …

Multiple populations in globular clusters: Lessons learned from the Milky Way globular clusters

RG Gratton, E Carretta, A Bragaglia - The Astronomy and Astrophysics …, 2012 - Springer
Recent progress in studies of globular clusters has shown that they are not simple stellar
populations, but rather are made up of multiple generations. Evidence stems both from …

clusters (GCs), mostly from the 'Hubble Space Telescope (HST) UV Legacy Survey of …

The ages of 55 globular clusters as determined using an improved method along with color–magnitude diagram constraints, and their implications for broader issues

DA VandenBerg, K Brogaard, R Leaman… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org

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 …

The abundances of neutron-capture species in the very metal-poor globular cluster M15: a uniform analysis of red giant branch and red horizontal branch stars

JS Sobeck, RP Kraft, C Sneden… - The Astronomical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
The globular cluster M15 is unique in its display of star-to-star variations in the neutron-
capture elements. Comprehensive abundance surveys have been previously conducted for …

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

The physics of star cluster formation and evolution

MGH Krause, SSR Offner, C Charbonnel… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
Star clusters form in dense, hierarchically collapsing gas clouds. Bulk kinetic energy is
transformed to turbulence with stars forming from cores fed by filaments. In the most compact …

The two metallicity groups of the globular cluster M 22: a chemical perspective

AF Marino, C Sneden, RP Kraft, G Wallerstein… - Astronomy & …, 2011 - aanda.org
