Science Letter
July 21, 2009
According to recent research from Armenia, "This article is intended
to remind us of the history of the origins of one of the fundamental
discoveries of the twentieth century, stellar associations, which are
connected with the name of V. A. Ambartsumyan. It is not a complete
discussion of all the published work, for this is, of course,
impossible."
"Research on stellar associations began immediately after their
discovery and continues to this day. Observations are now also carried
out by automatic satellites and a vast amount of observational data
has been obtained. Many stellar associations have been discovered,
both in our galaxy and in other galaxies," wrote A.T. Kalloghlian
and colleagues (see also Astrophysics).
The researchers concluded: "Catalogs of stellar associations have
been compiled and many problems relating to stellar associations have
been solved."
Kalloghlian and colleagues published their study in Astrophysics
(Stellar associations. Astrophysics, 2009;52(2):157-167).
