Globular Cluster Systems (Cambridge Astrophysics, Series Number 30) by Keith M. Ashman (PDF)

Description

Globular clusters are roughly spherical, densely packed groups of stars found around galaxies. Most globular clusters probably formed at the same time as their host galaxies. Therefore they provide a unique fossil record of the conditions during the formation and early evolution of galaxies. This volume presents a comprehensive review of globular cluster systems. It summarizes their observed properties and shows how these constrain models of the structure of stars, the formation and evolution of galaxies and globular clusters, and the age of the Universe. For graduate students and researchers, this timely volume provides the definitive reference on globular cluster systems.

Editorial Reviews: Review Review of the hardback: ‘For those working on globular clusters this book is an excellent reference and I would also recommend it to those working in galaxy formation.’ Simon Goodwin, The Observatory Book Description A comprehensive review of globular cluster systems – for researchers and graduate students.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I have found this peice to be very enlightining. It is fairly comprehensive and is well written. It delves in depth into one of the most amazing facets of the universe. Globulars are not only beautiful and amazing to behold but are probaply one of the most curious objects in the universe. This work explores most of the recient research on globulars and tries to make sence of it all. I would recommend it to any one interested in this aspect of Astronomy.It is fairly technical and does require background in stastics and at least be an intermediate astronomer.
