By 1917 Shapley had used the properties of the system of globular clusters to complete the Copernican revolution and locate the solar system, and its Earth-bound observers, far from the center of the Galaxy and the globular cluster distribution. Seven decades later, in the year of these proceedings, globular cluster research and the study of the system of globular clusters in our own and distant galaxies is undergoing a renaissance of activity. The introduction of new observational tools, particularly CCD imagers and digital spectrographs, as well as powerful theoretical methods have transformed the study of globular clusters into one of the main line areas of modern astrophysics. Thus it seemed particularly appropriate to one of us, when considering how the Harvard College Observatory might mark the Shapley centennial, to propose and plan for an IAU Symposium on Globular Cluster Systems in Galaxies. Planning for the Shapley Symposium, as it came to be called, was even | 出版日期 | Conference proceedings 1988 | 关键词 | CCD; astronomy; astrophysics; galaxy; interstellar matter; milky way; observatory; photometry; solar system; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-1104-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-277-2665-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-1104-9Series ISSN 1743-9213 Series E-ISSN 2352-2186 | issn_series | 1743-9213 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1988 |
