چکیده
Globular cluster populations of supergiant elliptical galaxies are known to vary widely, from extremely populous systems like that of UGC 9799, the centrally dominant galaxy in Abell 2052, to globular-cluster-poor galaxies such as NGC 5629 in Abell 2666. Here we propose that these variations point strongly to the existence of a population of globular clusters that are not bound to individual galaxies, but rather move freely thoughout the cores of clusters of galaxies. Such intracluster globular clusters may have originated as tidally stripped debris from galaxy interactions and mergers, or alternatively they may have formed in situ in some scenarios of globular cluster formation.

We consider structure formation and cosmic microwave background (CMB) aniso-tropies in a closed universe, both with and without a cosmological constant. The CMB angular power spectrum and the matter transfer function are presented, along with a discussion of their relative normalization. This represents the rst full numerical evolution of density perturbations and anisotropies in a spherical ge...

Most stars in our Galaxy with photospheric C/O > 1 (carbon stars) are not giants but dwarfs. The newly-recognized class of dwarf carbon stars joins the growing family of stars with peculiar abundances that are now recognized as products of mass-transfer binary (MTB) evolution. The dozen examples now known span a wide range of evolutionary histories, ages, and abundances. These stars can already...

Globular clusters in the Milky Way have characteristic velocity dispersions that are consistent with the predictions of Newtonian gravity, and may be at odds with Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and possibly the cold dark matter model. We discuss a modified gravity (MOG) theory that can successfully model the velocity dispersions of GCs in the Galactic neighborhood. MOG produces velocity dis...
