Multiple stellar populations in globular clusters

N Bastian, C Lardo - Annual review of Astronomy and …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Globular clusters (GCs) exhibit star-to-star variations in specific elements (eg, He, C, N, O,
Na, Al) that bear the hallmark of high-temperature H-burning. These abundance variations …

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 …

What is a globular cluster? An observational perspective

R Gratton, A Bragaglia, E Carretta, V D'Orazi… - The Astronomy and …, 2019 - Springer
Globular clusters are large and dense agglomerate of stars. At variance with smaller clusters
of stars, they exhibit signs of some chemical evolution. At least for this reason, they are …

Homogeneous analysis of globular clusters from the APOGEE survey with the BACCHUS code–II. The Southern clusters and overview

In-situ versus accreted Milky Way globular clusters: a new classification method and implications for cluster formation

V Belokurov, A Kravtsov - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
