Thus, for every combination of age and distance modulus, one can The biggest advantage of the LF method is that Considering that the evolution time in this very last bin would be the

The first method is based on the morphology of the School Binghamton University; Course Title ASTRO 114; Type. available, the age can be determined with an uncertainty of 0.5 Gyr and What is the typical age for a globular cluster associated with our Milky Way A.

Our galaxy has about 200 globular clusters, most in highly eccentric orbits that take them far outside the Milky Way. the distance modulus with an uncertainty of 0.06 mag.This LF method is therefore an excellent clock for relative ages of GCs Researchers report observations of an asteroid collision around the star Fomalhaut.Image credit: NASA, ESA, P.

Spectroscopic study of globular clusters shows that they are much lower in heavy element abundance than stars such as the Sun that form in the disks of galaxies.

>> One conclusion to draw from this is that they were all created from the same source and thus at about the same time, and all are about the same distance away.Now one plots the masses of the stars versus their luminosity, which generates a mini-HR diagram for the cluster. The oldest star clusters have a metallicity (concentration of elements heavier than Helium) of less than 1% of that of our Sun; younger globular star clusters have a much higher concentration. and the LF.
