Globular Clusters
Galactic Globular Clusters plays an important part in my scientifical activity.
People interested can refer to the following publication:
I also maintain Stellar Clusters groups on CiteULike and on Mendeley. Feel free to join if you are interested in this fascinating topic.
- With the aims to help to find information on parameters and literature about galactic globular clusters, I opened (and I'm currently working on) of the Galactic Globular Clusters Database. Such database has started as a searchable implementation of the data compilatons made by William E. Harris (Mc Master University, Canada) the Catalogue of Milky Way Globular Cluster Parameters, and it's slowly growing including different kinds of related stuff (colour magnitude diagrams, bibliography, and so on...).
- The VOGCLUSTER project will bring this idea to a new level: VOGCLUSTERS has just reached the alpha release stage, and it is one of web2.0 technology based services of DATA Mining & Esploration (DAME) Program, devoted to mine and explore heterogeneous information related to globular clusters data.
People interested can refer to the following publication:

- "VOGCLUSTERS: an example of DAME web application" (to be published on ASP Conference Series)
