PPT-Waiting and watching:  Results from seven years of observing the field of open star cluster

23 Jeff Wilkerson Luther College RAC July 13 2010 We image 3 clusters per year M23 and two others Image durations 2 to 12 seconds unfiltered Campaign durations 5 to 7 months Return to a cluster at least once. What force makes stars? . Gravity!. Out of what? Interstellar gas and dust. But this stuff is VERY low density… a dense area may have ~100 atoms / cm. 3. . Compare that the air you’re breathing… ~10.

With a wide-field multi-IFU spectrograph. Cluster studies. Clusters provide large samples of galaxies in a moderate field. Unique perspective on the interaction of galaxies with their environment. As they operate much as a closed box, they are useful as tracers of galaxy evolution and of cosmology. . Chris Haines . (Universidad de Chile). Paula . Merluzzi. , Gianni . Busarello. , . Amata. .
