1 Significant age range in massive star cluster excluded by tight sub-giant-branch morphology Chengyuan Li Richard de Grijs Licai Deng Science lead the way. 以化成天下。

2 Multiple stellar populations in Magellanic Cloud clusters, an ordinary feature for intermediate age globulars in the LMC? --- Milone et al.2009 ~300 Myr age spread

3 Multiple stellar populations in Magellanic Cloud clusters, an ordinary feature for intermediate age globulars in the LMC? --- Milone et al.2009 NGC 1868: 320 Myr age spread Li et al. 2014

4 How to detect multiple stellar populations in Galactic Globular Clusters? Multiple or Broadened Main Sequence(s), Sub-giant branch(es), Red-giant branch(es) Horizontal-branch(es) Omega-Centauri: Villanova et al.2007

5 Extended Main-Sequence Turn-Off should link to a broadened Sub-giant-branch, but where is it? NGC 1651: Li et al. 2014, Nature, accepted

6 Extended Main-Sequence Turn-Off should link to a broadened Sub-giant-branch, but where is it? NGC 1651: Li et al. 2014, Nature, accepted Age spread: 450 Myr (eMSTO), SSP (SGB)

7 Is this feature unique for NGC 1651? NGC 2155 SL 674 Piatta et al. 2014

8 Multiple stellar populations in Magellanic Cloud clusters, an ordinary feature for intermediate age globulars in the LMC? --- Milone et al.2009 Single stellar population suggested by tight sub-giant-branch, an ordinary feature for intermediate age globulars in the LMC? --- Li et al.2014 Questions: Why sub-giant-branch is ideal? 1, It direct link to turn-off region. 2, It easy to learn, do not experience significant mass loss. 3, It ideally get rid of the effect from fast rotating. Narrow sub-giant-branch  ideal single stellar population Why there is no one found this feature for a long time? (set by Luis) 1, Not every clusters show clear sub-giant-branch. 2, Bias. 3, People already began action (Nate Bastian group, 2014, prepare to submit)

9 Science lead the way. 以化成天下。 The Significance: 1, Single stellar population still hold for intermediate-age star clusters. 2, No additional physics is needed to prevent gas from collapsing into star forming. 3, No need for us to expect a tremendous massive origin. 4, Stellar rotating seems important for intermediate-age star clusters. Thanks!
