We present an extensive photometry on HB, RGB, and MSTO stars in Omega Cen. The central regions of the cluster were covered with a mosaic of F435W, F625W, and F658N-band data collected with ACS/HST. The outer reaches were covered with a…

Deep HST-WFPC2 observations of the stellar population in the globular cluster Omega Cen (NGC 5139) have been used to measure the luminosity function of main sequence stars at the low-mass end. Two fields have been investigated, located…

We use masses, radii, and luminosities of the detached eclipsing binary OGLEGC17 derived from photometric and spectroscopic observations to calculate the age and distance of the globular cluster omega Cen. Age versus turnoff mass and age…

We have constructed the most-comprehensive catalog of photometry and proper motions ever assembled for a globular cluster (GC). The core of $\omega$Cen has been imaged over 650 times through WFC3's UVIS and IR channels for the purpose of…
