Linked from

The 48 pages that link to Globular cluster, each with the reason it gives.

• Dynamical frictionRelated: Dynamical friction can make massive clusters lose orbital energy and sink toward galactic centers.

• Tidal strippingRelated: Tidal stripping can remove its outer stars and contribute to the Milky Way's stellar halo.

• RR Lyrae variableRelated: RR Lyrae stars in globular clusters help measure cluster distances and trace their populations.

• Galaxy interactionRelated: Some mergers form new clusters, while tidal forces can strip existing ones.

• Harlow ShapleyRelated: Shapley mapped these clusters to infer the Milky Way’s size and center.

• Horizontal branchRelated: Its color–magnitude diagram often displays a well-populated horizontal branch.

• Binary black holeRelated: Repeated encounters there can assemble and harden black-hole binaries.

• Magellanic CloudsRelated: The Clouds’ clusters reveal their stellar histories and chemical enrichment.

• Intermediate-mass black holeRelated: Claims of central black holes in these clusters remain contested and affect estimates of abundance.

• Red-giant branchRelated: Its red-giant branch helps reveal the cluster’s age and chemical composition.

• Sombrero GalaxyRelated: Its unusually rich globular-cluster system helps probe the galaxy’s formation and halo.

• Type II CepheidRelated: Old stellar populations in globular clusters can contain Type II Cepheids.

• Messier 49Related: Messier 49 is surrounded by an unusually rich population of these stellar systems.
