Globular star clusters are huge balls of thousands of stars that orbit most galaxies. They are among the oldest known stellar systems in the Universe and have survived through almost the entire span ...

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open clusters closely associated both in position and kinematics. They provide ...

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are massive, dense and compact stellar systems found in all types of galaxies, from dwarfs to massive galaxies. With masses between 10,000 and 100 million solar masses and ...

For decades, astronomers assumed that all young star clusters shake off their birth clouds on roughly the same schedule. A massive survey using the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space ...

While gazing at stars is fun, gazing at groups of stars is even more fun. The more the merrier. There are two types of star clusters that are popular observation targets with both amateur and ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified emerging young star clusters still breaking free from their dusty birth clouds in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 628. A preprint posted ...
