Release 11.12 ("Hergest Ridge")

---

Here you can choose to "adopt" a globular cluster. The adoption mechanism runs as follows:

• By adopting a cluster you express your intent to monitor (in your spare time, no hurry) a given cluster for the arrival, in the scientific literature as well on the web, of new articles, parameters or data (or whenever you think is relevant for our compilation). You don't need to be a professional astronomer to do this (though it may help).
• When you find something relevant to "your" clusters, you are invited to notify to the maintainers of this website for changes, in order to be included in our compilation. To do it, simply drop down a line with the info (a reference, a web page, etc....) at gclusters@altervista.org, and you're done.
• You can stop following your cluster anytime. Only, you're kindly requested to send us an email, in order to let us search for another maintainer.
• You can follow more then one cluster, if you want. Please be sure you have the time to proper monitoring them all.
• Any cluster can have up to five maintainers. Anyway, you're encouraged to choose clusters that still have no maintainer.
• (If you don't mind) your name and institution (if applicable) will appear in the page of clusters you're monitoring.
• For any question, you can go to the adoption FAQ page, or drop us an email :-)
