چکیده
1 Summary We present a CCD investigation of the galactic globular M5 aimed to increase the statistical relevance of the available sample of evolving bright stars. Previous investigations, limited to the outer cluster region, have been extended toward the cluster center, more than doubling the number of observed luminous stars. On this basis, we discuss a statistically relevant sample, rich of 415 HB stars. The occurrence of a gap in the blue side of the HB is suggested. Comparison to the current evolutionary scenario discloses a good agreement concerning both the CM diagram location and the relative abundance of stars in the advanced evolutionary phases, supporting our present knowledge of the evolution of low mass stars. Determination of the amount of the original helium content through the ratio R N(HB)/N(RGB) gives Y = 0.22 ± 0.02.

" La theorie c'est bien, mais ca n'empeche pas d'exister. " Emile Charcot Abstract In the first two of these lectures, I present the evidence for baryonic dark matter and describe possible forms that it may take. The final lecture discusses formation of baryonic dark matter, and sets the cosmological context.

The comparison of COMPTEL 1.8 MeV γ-ray line data to an extended data base of tracer maps revealed an extremely close correlation between 1.8 MeV gamma-ray line emission on the one side and 53 GHz microwave free-free emission and 158 µm far-infrared line emission on the other side (Knödlseder et al., these proceedings). We demonstrate that the two tracer maps are correlated to the extreme Popul...
