star clusters

Besides the dark dust, NGC 7049appears similar to a smooth elliptical galaxy, although featuring surprisingly few globular star clusters.

I found out while we were talking one day that he was one of the scouts firing off the star clusters to mark the passage point.

Surrounding the Milky Way are thousands of spherical globular star clusters containing some of the oldest stars in the Universe.

No such disks have yet been shown to exist, but astronomers might be mistaking them for mass-transferring binary stars in star clusters.

Earthlings can only wonder at the dense star clusters and massive gas and dust clouds that reside there.

Colors in this well-composed, cosmic portrait, highlight plentiful, young, bluish star clusters along the galaxy's sweeping spiral arms.

Previous studies have shown that this is the closest of the so-called super star clusters.

Explanation: Star clusters, glowing nebulae and dark dust clouds abound in Cepheus, royal constellation of the northern hemisphere.

He's using Kepler data to do his age dating too, but he's not focusing on individual stars; instead he's looking at star clusters.

They simply don't have enough gravity to hold them together, unlike their much more massive cousins, the globular star clusters.

The promising technique can also be applied to imaging other extended objects like star clusters and nebulae.

Star clusters like NGC 3603 provide important clues to understanding the origin of massive star formation in the early, distant universe.

Astronomers have long known that young or "open" star clusters must eventually disrupt and dissolve into the host galaxy.

Everywhere the astronomers looked in this compact group they found batches of infant star clusters and regions brimming with star birth.

Massive star formation and star formation in star clusters will be very important in the future work.

Dynamical evolution plays a key role in shaping the current properties of star clusters and star cluster systems.

Since there is a higher chance of such close encounters in dense star clusters, we might expect to detect more brown dwarfs there, he says.

A longer rope of bright star clusters points to the fourth member of the group, at lower right.

Clouds of glowing gas and dark dust as well as three large star clusters are visible.

Why several central, bright, massive stars appear to be unassociated with these star clusters is not yet understood.

And you can take it for granted that they've heard of stars and galaxies, but not necessarily of star clusters or quasars.

As many as 30 Messier Objects are visible in the above spectacular image mosaic, including all types of nebulas and star clusters.

The ensemble of all star clusters in a galaxy constitutes its star cluster system.

The sharp Hubble data also reveal more distant background galaxies seen right through NGC 2442's star clusters and nebulae.

The bluish star clusters have formed in the streamers of debris pulled from the galaxies and at the site of their head-on collision.

That is to say, the larger the star clusters or galaxies, the more massive the black hole in the centre.

Stars are born in huge reddish nebulae and emerge as brilliant blue star clusters.

The brightest star clusters reside along an arc nearthe core.

Another is that they're extremely rare, forming only in the densest star clusters.

Wrong. As you have just seen, looking up at the sky reveals planets, comets, star clusters, gas clouds and entire galaxies of stars.

Some star clusters can beseen with the naked eye, such as the famous Pleiades cluster in theconstellation Taurus.

One way to see more massive stars have shorter lives is to study the star clusters.
