We present {\it Spitzer} images of the relatively sparse, low luminosity young cluster L988e, as well as complementary near-infrared (NIR) and submillimeter images of the region. The cluster is asymmetric, with the western region of the…

In this paper we present the V and I luminosity functions and color-magnitude diagrams derived from wide-field (23 arcmin by 23 arcmin) BVI photometry of the intermediate metallicity ([Fe/H]=-1.3) Galactic globular cluster M12. Using…

A study of the lithium abundances in binaries of the old open cluster M67 is presented. Abundances were estimated using curves of growth and equivalent widths of the LiI6707.8 \AA{} doublet. We have corrected of the effects of the companion…

The ages and metallicities of globular clusters play an important role not just in testing models for their formation and evolution but in understanding the assembly history for their host galaxies. Here we use a combination of imaging and…

We present the first results from our survey of stellar substructure in the outskirts of M31 using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope. We discuss the stellar populations associated with five prominent…

A combination of two unsupervised machine learning algorithms, DBSCAN and GMM are used to find members with a high probability of twelve open clusters, M38, NGC2099, Coma Ber, NGC752, M67, NGC2243, Alessi01, Bochum04, M34, M35, M41, and…

CONTEXT: Extragalactic globular clusters have been studied in elliptical galaxies and in a few luminous spiral galaxies, but little is known about globular clusters in low-luminosity spirals. AIMS: Past observations with the ACS have shown…

We present a high precision photometric view of the stellar populations in the outer halo of M31, using data taken with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys (HST/ACS). We analyse the field populations adjacent to 11…

Halo star clusters serve as vital tracers for the formation and evolution of the Andromeda galaxy. In this work, we present physical parameters for 29 M31 halo star clusters, derived from a combination of spectroscopic and photometric data.…

We present comprehensive characterization of the Galactic open cluster M 36. Some two hundred member candidates, with an estimated contamination rate of $\sim$8%, have been identified on the basis of proper motion and parallax measured by…

We examine the radial distributions of stellar populations in the globular cluster (GC) M15, using HST/WFC3 photometry of red giants in the nitrogen-sensitive F343N-F555W color. Surprisingly, we find that giants with "primordial"…

Recently acquired WFC3 UV (F275W and F336W) imaging mosaics under the Legacy Extragalactic UV Survey (LEGUS) combined with archival ACS data of M51 are used to study the young star cluster (YSC) population of this interacting system. Our…

The nature of the dwarf galaxy population as a function of location in the cluster and within different environments is investigated. We have previously described the results of a search for low surface brightness objects in data drawn from…

Star clusters in 6 nearby spiral galaxies are examined using archive images from HST/WFPC2. The galaxies have previously been studied from the ground and some of them are known to possess rich populations of "young massive clusters" (YMCs).…

We present the results of a redshift survey of both cluster and intercluster galaxies in the central part of the Shapley Concentration, the richest supercluster of clusters in the nearby Universe, consisting of ~2000 radial velocities. We…

Stars in open clusters are powerful probes of the intervening Galactic magnetic field, via background starlight polarimetry, because they provide constraints on the magnetic field distances. We use 2MASS photometric data for a sample of 31…

We investigate the low-mass population of the young cluster IC348 down to the deuterium-burning limit, a fiducial boundary between brown dwarf and planetary mass objects, using a new and innovative method for the spectral classification of…

We investigate the multiple stellar populations in one of peculiar globular clusters (GCs) M22 using new ground-based wide-field Ca by and HST/WFC3 photometry with equivalent passbands, confirming our previous result that M22 has a…

The main goal of our project is to obtain a complete picture of individual open clusters from homogeneous data and then search for correlations between their astrophysical parameters. The near-infrared JHKS photometric data from the…

We present the star cluster catalogs for 17 dwarf and irregular galaxies in the $HST$ Treasury Program "Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey" (LEGUS). Cluster identification and photometry in this subsample are similar to that of the entire LEGUS…
