Linked from

The 14 pages that link to Star cluster, each with the reason it gives.

• Stellar evolutionRelated: Clusters provide populations of similar ages for comparing stars at different evolutionary stages.

• Star formationRelated: Clusters preserve evidence of the shared clouds and conditions that produced their stars.

• Binary starCompared with: A cluster contains many stars; a binary is defined by one mutually orbiting pair.

• Hertzsprung–Russell diagramRelated: A cluster’s stars are at nearly the same distance, making its diagram especially informative.

• N-body simulationRelated: Simulations track stellar encounters, relaxation, and eventual cluster evolution.

• Messier catalogNarrower topic: The catalog includes open and globular clusters such as the Pleiades and M13.

• NebulaCompared with: Clusters may appear beside nebulae, but consist primarily of stars rather than diffuse gas.

• New General CatalogueNarrower topic: Clusters form one of the principal kinds of object recorded in the catalogue.

• Stellar dynamicsBroader topic: Clusters expose the effects of repeated stellar encounters and long-term gravitational evolution.

• Blue stragglerNarrower topic: A cluster’s shared age and composition make unusually massive stars identifiable.

• Planetary systemNarrower topic: A cluster contains many stellar systems and can influence their planets through close encounters.

• R136Narrower topic: R136 is a compact, young example of a cluster formed from one star-forming region.

• Stellar astronomyBroader topic: Clusters provide coeval populations for testing stellar ages and evolution.

• Super star clusterNarrower topic: Super star clusters are an exceptionally massive, compact kind of star cluster.
