PPT-From the Galaxy to galaxies: star clusters as probes of the formation and evolution of

Laura Magrini INAF Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri In Our Galaxy Open clusters disc population Many 2200 known clusters even more new candidates in the inner disc from infrared surveys . The Cosmic Time Machine. Astronomical telescopes can’t help viewing the past.. . Distance and time are always mixed in astronomical observations.. The finite speed of light means that we always see things after they have happened–a delay of 8 minutes for the Sun and about 12 billion years for the most distant galaxies we can observe. In other words,. Rich Dwarf Galaxies. . Sambit. . Roychowdhury. (NCRA), . Jayaram. . N. . Chengalur. . (. NCRA. ), . . Igor . D. . Karachentsev. (SAO. ), Margarita . Sharina. (SAO). Ayesha Begum . 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. . CDM Cosmology. Oleg . Gnedin. (University of Michigan. ). What we knew before HST: globular clusters are old, dense, compact – a distinct type of stellar spheroids. Kormendy. (1985). Over 20 years the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed young massive star clusters in interacting and gas-rich galaxies.. Galaxy Morphology and Environment. Main relation – .

Contains more than 100 billion stars. Is one of the two largest among 40 galaxies in the Local Group.
