P. M. Lugger studies dense stellar clusters called globular clusters, focusing on unusual objects within them such as X-ray binaries, cataclysmic variables (compact star pairs that emit bursts of light), neutron stars, and blue straggler stars. The research combines observations from major telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, and radio arrays, to identify and characterize these faint and exotic sources.
