PoW for Oct. 5 :: GCs in NGC5866, Horizontal Branches…

Hello, welcome to another issue of “Papers of the Week”, covering publications and preprint related to the world of (mostly) Galactic Globular Clusters.

Topics of this issue, range from extragalactic systems (NGC 5866) to expected planets in GCs, including also a bit of (extreme!) Horizontal Branches stars… Happy reading ! 😉
