About the classification of open and globular
clusters.
In the text descriptions of the individual
objects, you will often find the indication of a type class for both the open
and the globular clusters. |

Open star cluster
Open star clusters are
mostly classified according to a scheme developed by Robert Trumpler in 1930.
There are three indications for this. The Roman numerals from
I to IV indicate the concentration and separation
from the surrounding star field (from strongly to weakly
concentrated).
The Arabic numerals
from 1 to 3 indicate how much each star varies in
brightness (from low to strong). The letters p, m, or
r indicate whether the cluster has few (poor), average (medium), or
many (rich) stars.
In addition, three
further criteria can be given: n (nebulosity)
means that interstellar, luminous matter clouds are embedded in the cluster;
e (elongated) means that the cluster appears to be
spread out in one direction; and u (unsymmetrical)
means that the stars in the cluster are scattered in different
directions.
Globular
clusters:
Globular clusters are classified by their apparent
concentration according to an Ssystem developed by Harlow Shapley and his
graduate student Helen Sawyer Hogg beginning in 1927. The scale ranges from
Roman I to XII, with Class
I representing strong concentration and
Class XII representing the weakest concentration. |
