Exploring globular clusters with the lens of asteroseismology - EurekAlert

A new study shows how Asteroseismology, that allows to estimate the mass and age of stars through the study of stellar oscillations, can play a crucial role in analysing individual stellar populations in globular clusters

Asteroseismology - one of the most fascinating and sophisticated methods for measuring the mass of stars, and by extension, their age - can also be successfully used to reveal the characteristics of … [+5812 chars]
