The future.This book presents a brief compilation of results from nearly a century of research on the globular star clusters in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). It explores the techniques and limitations of the observations, the successes and challenges of the models, and the paradigm for the formation of M31 that has gradually emerged. These results will eventually be superseded by new data, better analysis techniques, and more complex models. However, the emphasis of this book is on the techniques, thought processes, and connections with other studies.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Dr Charli Sakari is an Assistant Professor in the Physics & Astronomy Department at San Francisco State University. Dr Sakari attended Whitman College, graduating cum laude with a BA in Physics-Astronomy and Applied Mathematics, with honors in Physics-Astronomy. She then completed her PhD at the University of Victoria, where she was a Vanier Scholar and completed her post-doctoral research at the University of Washington. Her research interests include chemical abundances of stars in globular clusters and galaxy field stars, including metal-poor stars.Title from PDF title page (viewed on January 6, 2020).
