H. N. Cohn studies dense stellar systems called globular clusters, which are tightly packed groups of hundreds of thousands of stars. The research focuses on identifying and characterizing faint objects within these clusters, such as white dwarfs (dead stellar remnants), cataclysmic variables (interacting binary stars), and millisecond pulsars (rapidly spinning neutron stars), often using X-ray observations from the Chandra space telescope.
