Structure formation.
Properties of distant galaxies. Stellar evolution.

CMD of 245 globulars
NGC 6397 ---- 1Extragal. ---- 244
Summary:
White dwarf cooling age of NGC 6397 = 11.47 +/- 0.47 Gyr.
Cluster orbit suggests frequent interactions with bulge/disk.
Proper motion cleaned study of low mass cluster mass function.
z = 0.1 extragalactic globular cluster system found.
