A Canadian and American team of Astronomers have used the 305-m wide Arecibo radio dish, the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope, to uncover a dozen new super-fast-spinning pulsars. The team directed their search for these rare and exotic stars by pointing the Arecibo radio telescope towards massive star clusters, called Globular Clusters, orbiting our Milky Way galaxy. ... One of the most exotic residents in the Globular cluster system are the millisecond pulsars. ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...

Next: Low-Mass Star Formation Up: M.D. Smith Previous: M.D. Smith Contents . Massive stars are of elevated importance in our Universe for several reasons. ... During their lives, they influence the nurseries in which new stars might form. ... He and Michael Smith investigated the consequences of massive star formation in one such region of our Galaxy. They uncovered that massive stars are forming in the Rosette Molecular Complex at a rate way beyond previous expectations. ...

... Spectrum-RG is joint project of Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and German Space Agency (DLR) of X-ray astrophysical observatory. Its main aim is to make all-sky survey in the X-ray (0.5-11 keV) band in order to find all massive clusters of galaxies in the Universe, millions of active galactic nuclei, including obscured ones and hundreds of thousands of Galactic X-ray sources. ... eRosita (Germany) X-ray grazing-incident mirror telescope, consisting of 432 mirrors combined in 7 modules. ...

... The most powerful and widely used methods to calculate the scattering matrix of a fractal cluster are based on the coupled dipoles methods (e.g. the Discrete Dipole Approximation, DDA) and the theory of light scattering by a cluster of spherical particles [2-4]. ... At present the procedure of calculation of the scattering matrix is well developed for both an oriented cluster of spherical particles and for chaotically oriented clusters of such particles [4]. ...

... 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. ...
