Abstract

The last three years have been very productive for cluster research. This report, on activities in the field, has been compiled by the members of Commission 37. It begins with sections on recent meetings, and on data catalogs (G. Lynga). Detailed tables of work on associations (P.E. Nissen), open clusters (G.L.H. Harris) and globular clusters (R.E. White) are then given. A section on cluster dynamics (D.C. Heggie) follows, and the final section concerns present trends in cluster research (C. Pilachowski).
