The Globular Star Clusters of the Andromeda Galaxy Summary

The Globular Star Clusters of the Andromeda Galaxy by Charli M Sakari

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 These results will eventually be superseded by new data, better analysis techniques, and more complex models.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.

About Charli M Sakari

Charli Sakari is an Assistant Professor in the Physics & Astronomy Department at San Francisco State University. Originally from Springfield, OR, Dr. Sakari attended Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA, 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 in Victoria, BC, Canada, where she was a Vanier Scholar. Her PhD thesis was entitled, Chemical Abundances of Local Group Globular Clusters. Dr. Sakari then completed her post-doctoral research at the University of Washington, in Seattle. Dr. Sakari's research interests include chemical abundances of stars in globular clusters and galaxy field stars, including metal-poor stars. She is also interested in stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis (the creation of the elements), and galaxy formation and evolution.
