Ingredients of Life found in distant galaxy, Arecibo astronomers announce. Astronomers from Arecibo Observatory announced today at an American Astronomical Society meeting in Austin, TX, that they had found two of the basic ingredients of life in the distant galaxy Arp 220.

... We found that 10 metal-poor globular clusters are greately distinguished for anomalously small masses on the "destruction rate-mass" plain. As it turned out, these poor clusters, situated 15 kpc farther from the Galactic centre, are somewhat younger than the bulk of the metal-poor globulars, and have anomalously red horizontal branches. ... At the same time, deficiency of distant massive clusters is noticeable with increasing distance from the galactic centre. ...

ST ScI Preprint #1355 . Authors: Lionel Siess, 1,2 Mario Livio 1 This paper extends our previous study of planet/brown dwarf accretion by giant stars to solar mass stars located on the red giant branch. The model assumes that the planet is dissipated at the bottom of the convective envelope of the giant star. ... We propose that the IR excess and high Li abundance observed in 4-8% of the G and K giants originate from the accretion of a giant planet, a brown dwarf or a very low-mass star. ...
