What Are the Best Resources for Understanding Star Clusters?

AI Thread Summary
Key resources for understanding star clusters include comprehensive books and articles that cover their formation, evolution, and types, such as open and globular clusters. Users find it challenging to locate organized documents through standard search engines. A suggested starting point is the Wikipedia page on star clusters, which contains references to additional materials and links. Following these references can lead to a deeper understanding of the subject. Engaging with these resources is recommended for anyone interested in star clusters.

Hello,

I would like to know if there is any book or any useful links about star clusters, dealing with the following topics :[ formation, evolution, types (open, globular), etc...]. It is very difficult to find an organized document from google results, so if anyone is familiar with the subject i would appreciate his guidence

Thanks

I like to follow references in the article to other places. Also, there is material referenced, and other links. Following all that stuff to wherever it leads you ought to give exactly what you're looking for.
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
