Gradient of mean mass of a star in the field of globular clusters by Valjarević A.

“…Based on the relevant available data, the distributions of masses and apparent magnitudes of stars belonging to globular star clusters are simulated. The simulations are aimed at examining the influence of the mass-segregation phenomenon on the surface-density profile. …”

Generalized Schuster law and King’s formula by Živkov V., Ninković S.

“…By varying a particular form of the generalized Schuster density law (the exponent in the denominator equal to 3/2) the authors look for a suitable substitution for King’s density formula usually applied to star clusters and dwarf galaxies. The authors find expressions yielding almost identical density values as King’s formula, but from the mathematical point of view significantly more simple for use.…”

Black hole mergers from quadruples by Fragione, G, Kocsis, B

“…We show that BHs merging through this channel have a significant eccentricity in the LIGO band, typically much larger than BHs merging in isolated binaries and in binaries ejected from star clusters, but comparable to that of merging binaries formed via the gravitational wave capture scenario in clusters, mergers in hierarchical triples, or BH binaries orbiting intermediate-mass BHs in star clusters. …”

Lessons, open questions, and future prospects by Grupe D., Gezari S., Eracleous M., Komossa S., Saxton R.

“…We summarize some of the highlights of this workshop, the first of its kind dedicated to observing and modeling the tidal disruption of stars by black holes in the centers of galaxies (or star clusters). We review the lessons learned from recent observations and from theory and identify outstanding questions and areas where more theoretical and observational work is needed. …”

Larson, Daizhong Liu, Ismael Pessa, Bradley C. Whitmore

“…With our highest-resolution DFN maps (25 pc filament width), we find that filaments in emission and attenuation are cospatial in 40% of sight lines, often exhibiting detailed morphological agreement; that ∼30% of the MIR flux is associated with the DFN; and that 75%–80% of the star formation in H ii regions and 60% of the mass in star clusters younger than 5 Myr are contained within the DFN. …”
