However others are less pessimistic and it has even been claimed that the mysterious ?Wow! signal? received in 1977 originated from the direction M55.б  Sadly, this still unexplained pulse of radio energy originated from a location rather to the northwest of M55 so I doubt if the source was this cluster (if indeed the signal was genuinely of extraterrestrial origin). ... Mysterious Wow! ...

... Structure of Data . ... Catalog . ... In SAI OCL Catalog, we introduce our work on investigation of the Milky Way system of open star clusters. The main goal of our study is a search for new clusters using huge surveys. 168 new clusters have been already discovered by us using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS point source catalog. ... For 141 new clusters, we found their physical parameters using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS catalog and, for a number of clusters, our UBVRI CCD observational magnitudes. ...

This approach is used for the detection (and subsequent analysis) of globular cluster systems around elliptical galaxies, and for image characterization and object trawling in large image databases. ... The applicability of this approach to object detection in large image collections has been investigated. ...

News & Views There seems to be something very healthy about astronomical research when, under the same cover, an event which took place in 1333 AD (Leonid bursts as a resonance meteoroid component from Comet Temple/Tuttle) is discussed followed by a paper on how we might more effectively search for extraterrestrial intelligence (in the optical). In this issue we also have a further paper on young clusters (Praesepe) and the low end of the stellar mass function (see IAJ , 1999, 26(1), 17). ...

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. ...
