The Magellanic Clouds, Past, Present and Future - A Summary of IAU Symposium No. 190
Sidney van den Bergh
Important problems to which we would like to find answers are: What are the distances to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)? What is the present…
Star and Cluster Formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Sidney van den Bergh
A great burst of cluster formation increased the rate at which open clusters were formed in the Large Magellanic Cloud 3-5 Gyr ago by at least an order of magnitude. On the other h…
Ages for Globular Clusters in the Outer Galactic Halo: The Second Parameter Clusters Palomar~3, Palomar~4 and Eridanus
Peter B. Stetson, Michael Bolte, William E. Harris +9
We have used the WFPC2 camera on the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain photometry of the outer-halo globular clusters Palomar 3, Palomar 4, and Eridanus. These three are classic exa…
The Globular Clusters of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Sidney van den Bergh
The possibility that the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal might have formed as a Searle-Zinn fragment in the outer halo of the Galaxy is discussed. Arguments in favor of this hypothesi…
The Binary Galaxies NGC 147 And NGC 185
Sidney van den Bergh
Contrary to a previously published claim it is found that the spheroidal galaxies NGC 147 and NGC 185 probably form a stable binary system. Distance estimates place this pair on th…
Young Galactic Globular Clusters
Sidney van den Bergh
Nine presently known "young" Galactic globular clusters, which have ages / 3 Gyr smaller than the oldest clusters of similar metallicity, all have RGC > 15 kpc. Furthermore these y…
