| Abstract | Star clusters are dense collections of hundreds to hundreds of thousands of stars. These star clusters are found around most galaxies in the Universe. This research team will study how these star clusters evolve and interact with their host galaxy. The investigators will analyze advanced computer simulations that trace the origin and evolution of galaxies like the Milky Way and their star clusters. They will create planetarium shows and other outreach programs accessible to everyone in the state |
