A fluffy cluster of stars spilling across the sky may have a secret hidden in its heart: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass black holes.

ABSTRACT Globular clusters are ideal laboratories to study the evolution of low‐mass stars. In this work we concentrate on three types of hot stars observed in globular clusters: horizontal branch ...
