Relative Frequencies of Blue Stragglers in Galactic Globular Clusters: Constraints for the Formation Mechanisms
Giampaolo Piotto, Francesca De Angeli, Ivan R. King +7
We discuss the main properties of the Galactic globular cluster (GC) blue straggler stars (BSS), as inferred from our new catalog containing nearly 3000 BSS. The catalog has been e…
Dynamical Evolution of Globular Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds and Other Local Systems
A. D. Mackey, G. F. Gilmore
Observations of rich LMC and SMC clusters reveal an increasing spread in core radius with age. This trend likely represents real physical evolution in these systems. Old Magellanic…
Palomar 5 and its tidal tails: New observational results
M. Odenkirchen, E. K. Grebel, W. Dehnen +4
Sloan Digital Sky Survey data for the field of the globular cluster Pal 5 reveal the existence of a long massive stream of tidal debris spanning an arc of 10 degrees on the sky. Pa…
On the Oosterhoff Classification of the Unusual, Metal-Rich Globular Clusters NGC 6388 and NGC 6441
M. Catelan, A. V. Sweigart, B. J. Pritzl +1
We discuss the Oosterhoff classification of the unusual, metal-rich globular clusters NGC 6388 and NGC 6441, on the basis of new evolutionary models computed for a range of metalli…
HST color-magnitude diagrams of 74 galactic globular clusters in the HST F439W and F555W bands
G. Piotto, I. R. King, S. G. Djorgovski +9
We present the complete photometric database and the color-magnitude diagrams for 74 Galactic globular clusters observed with the HST/WFPC2 camera in the F439W and F555W bands. A d…
Mayall II = G1 in M31: Giant Globular Cluster or Core of a Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy ?
G. Meylan, A. Sarajedini, P. Jablonka +3
(Abridged version) Mayall II = G1 is one of the brightest globular clusters belonging to M31, the Andromeda galaxy. Our observations with HST/WFPC2 provide data for the (I vs. V-I)…
