Compact objects in globular clusters
arXiv:0709.3732 · doi:10.1111/j.1468-4004.2007.48512.x
Abstract
Globular clusters have long been known to contain large excesses of a variety of objects formed through dynamical processes. The past few years have seen a dramatic increase in our knowledge about these systems.
