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 …

The origin and lifetime of giant molecular cloud complexes

L Blitz, FH Shu - Astrophysical Journal, Part 1, vol. 238, May 15 …, 1980 - adsabs.harvard.edu
From the available observational and theoretical evidence it is argued that the mass of
molecular gas in the Galaxy has been considerably overestimated and that the ages of the …
