Observing Compact Population III Star Clusters and the Presence of Cosmic Streaming
The formation of the Universe's first luminous stellar structures depends on the unique conditions at "Cosmic Dawn," which are set by the underlying cosmological model and early baryonic physics. Observations suggest that high-z star clusters reached stellar surface densities abo

The Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters, is a young, open cluster of stars located in the constellation Taurus. Its hot, blue stars are surrounded by a faint, wispy nebula, remnants of the gas from which they formed.
