Empirical Measurement of the Dynamical Ages of Three Globular Clusters and Some Considerations on the Use of the Dynamical Clock

Empirical Measurement of the Dynamical Ages of Three Globular Clusters and Some Considerations on the Use of the Dynamical Clock

We have used the “dynamical clock” to measure the level of dynamical evolution reached by three Galactic globular clusters (namely, NGC 3201, NGC 6316, and NGC 6440). This is an empirical method that quantifies the level of central segregation of blue straggler stars (BSSs) within the cluster half-m...
