Blue and White Doodle Playful Science Project Presentation

Globular clusters are tightly bound groups of stars that provide insights into the early universe and stellar evolution, with ages ranging from 10 to 13 billion years. They contain stars at various stages of evolution, allowing for the study of phenomena such as mass transfer and binary formation. These clusters serve as natural laboratories for understanding stellar and galactic evolution due to their simple chemical compositions and multiple stellar populations.

Clusters in

Definitions
Globular clusters are stable, tightly bound clusters of
tens of thousands to millions of stars. They are
associated with all types of galaxies.

Globular clusters are typically much larger than open


clusters and are tightly gravitationally bound.

Question
What role do globular clusters play
in the study of stellar evolution?
WHAT WE FOUND OUT
Globular clusters are vital for studying stellar evolution. They
contain stars of similar ages, aiding in age determination. These
clusters host stars at various stages of evolution, enabling
observation of phenomenon like mass transfer and binary
formation. Their simple chemical compositions offer insights into
early galactic history. Multiple stellar populations within globular
clusters hint at complex formation processes. In summary, globular
clusters act as natural laboratories, providing data and constraints
for understanding stellar and galactic evolution.
Conclusion

Globular clusters - host stars at various stages of


evolution, enabling observation of phenomenon like
mass transfer and binary formation.
