M. J. Cordero studies stellar clusters, which are large groups of stars that formed together, and investigates whether these clusters contain multiple distinct populations of stars with different ages or chemical makeup. Much of the work focuses on clusters in the Magellanic Clouds, small galaxies neighboring our own Milky Way, using observations to test how a cluster's age and its stars' rotation shape what we observe.
