Globular Clusters

Scientific paper

Globular cluster systems were established in the last decade as powerful tools for the study of galaxy formation and evolution. For this purpose they are used in nearby galaxies with as much success as the diffuse stellar populations and complement the latter studies by being superior in several practical aspects. For instance, globular clusters are better chronometers than the diffuse stellar population since each globular cluster can be identified as a single- age population. The age determination of the major globular cluster subpopulations allows one to precisely date the star formation events in the host galaxy.
