Problem 18SEQ

Explain answer clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed.

Enrichment of Star Clusters. The gravitational pull of an isolated globular cluster is rather weak—a single supernova can blow all the interstellar gas out of a globular cluster. How might this fact be related to observations indicating that stars ceased to form in globular clusters long ago? How might it be related to the fact that globular clusters are deficient in elements heavier than hydrogen and helium? Summarize your answers in one or two paragraphs.

ANSWER:

Solution

Step 1 of 3

Consider, the gravitational pull of an isolated globular cluster is rather weak and  a single supernova can blow all the interstellar gas out of a globular cluster.

We need to find out, how might it be related to the fact that globular clusters are deficient in elements heavier than hydrogen and helium.
