 Scientists find 'pinwheels' in Quintuplet cluster
The spiral dust that was observed in the Quintuplet stars is caused by colliding stellar winds from two stars near one another, Monnier said.
The aftermath of the violent wind collision produces a stream of dust, and this dust stream shows researchers they are actually observing two or more stars, and allow a much better estimate of their actual masses.
Counting and weighing these massive stars correctly are crucial to understanding the history of our galaxy, since the final supernova explosions have a dominant effect on their surroundings, including producing and spreading out much of the heavier elements needed for forming planets around lower-mass stars like the Sun.

  W. M. Keck Observatory
Perhaps only a few million years old, the five brightest stars in the Quintuplet Cluster have essentially blown off all the hydrogen in their envelopes and are nude helium stars fusing helium into heavier elements in the core.
The Quintuplet Cluster is less than 100 light years from the core of the Milky Way Galaxy, located 25,000 light years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius.
With a mass greater than 10,000 suns, the Quintuplet Cluster is 10 times larger than typical young star clusters scattered throughout the Milky Way and is destined to be ripped apart in just a few million years by gravitational tidal forces in the galaxy's core.

 Teaching a Quintuplet
By the end of the lesson, the students will at least be able to understand a quintuplet and where it fits within a measure of music.
Also, they will know the origin of a quintuplet from listening to Indian and Chinese music, which uses a quintuplet often and is a common feel to most people from that culture.
Not only should they be able to play and feel a quintuplet, but their sense of common time should be stronger, since they had to rely on that more to accomplish the quintuplet.

The first set of quintuplets born in the United States to survive were the Fischer quintuplets of Aberdeen, South Dakota, born September 14, 1963.
There are only 14 proven sets of all female quintuplets, only 2 sets where all five survived: the Dionne's born in 1934, and the Hanson's (Julie, Nicola, Joanne, Sarah, Jacqueline) born in 1969.
The first African-American quintuplets to survive are the Gaither quints (Joshua, Rhealyn, Brandon, Ashlee, Renee) born in Indiana August 3 1983.

Quintuplet, named for its five prominent red stars, is one of our galaxy's most massive clusters.
Quintuplet holds many Wolf-Rayet stars — a type thought to be the immediate precursors of supernovae.
Quintuplet's stars show the same type of spiral, which tells researchers each is actually two or more stars and demonstrates that Quintuplet's most massive members are smaller than previously thought.

 Mystery of Quintuplet stars in Milky Way solved
August 21, 2006 - For the first time, scientists have identified the cluster of Quintuplet stars in the Milky Way's galactic center, next to the super massive fl hole, as massive binary stars nearing the end of their life cycle, solving a mystery that had dogged astronomers for more than 15 years.
Using advanced imaging techniques on the world's biggest telescope at the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the scientists captured the stars at the highest attainable resolution for the instrument, far exceeding the capability of the Hubble Space Telescope, which imaged the cluster a decade ago.
An earlier study by Figer in 1996 claimed the Quintuplet cluster consists of evolved massive stars that produce dust.

Each of the five bright "stars" (labeled) in the Quintuplet cluster is thought to be a double star system boasting a pinwheel nebula.
According to NewScientists, the Quintuplet, discovered in 1990, is a cluster of hundreds of stars around 26,000 light years away, near our Galaxy’s center.
The research was led by Atsuo Ogura from the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Ibaraki, Japan, and funded by the Japanese ministries of education and health, and the Human Science Foundation of Japan.

 Scientists find 'pinwheels' in Quintuplet cluster
ANN ARBOR, Mich.--Discovery of pinwheel-shaped dust spirals around two of the mysterious cocoon stars in the Quintuplet cluster tells scientists for the first time that they contain a duo of stars instead of just one.
The spiral dust that was observed in the Quintuplet stars is caused by colliding stellar winds from two stars near one another, Monnier said.
The aftermath of the violent wind collision produces a stream of dust, and this dust stream shows researchers they are actually observing two or more stars, and allow a much better estimate of their actual masses.

The pinwheel discovery suggests that many of the very luminous stars in our galaxy, most of which are surrounded by dust, are actually massive binaries, not single stars, Tuthill said.
The Quintuplet Cluster is located near the center of our galaxy, 25,000 light years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius, and is one of the most massive young star clusters known.
The Quintuplet stars imaged by the Keck are at the end of their normal, stable lives, just before the final supernova explosion, Tuthill said.

You can combine adjacent two triplets or quintuplets of the same size into a single tuplet, or split a single tuplet into two equal, smaller tuplets.
Note that the two sets of tuplets must span across a natural beat or sub-beat in the meter of the measure, rather than straddle a beat or sub-beat.

The Quintuplet stars may be responsible for some of the dust heating and thus for the gradient in temperatures observed in the Pistol Nebula.

For the first time, scientists have identified the cluster of Quintuplet stars in the Milky Way's galactic center, next to the super massive fl hole, as massive binary stars nearing the end of their life cycle, solving a mystery that had dogged astronomers for more than 15 years.
In a paper published in the Aug. 18 issue of Science, co-authors Peter Tuthill of the University of Sydney and Donald Figer of Rochester Institute of Technology show that the Quintuplet cluster consists of young massive binary stars that produce large amounts of dust.
Using advanced imaging techniques on the world's biggest telescope at the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the scientists captured the stars at the highest attainable resolution for the instrument, far exceeding the capability of the Hubble Space Telescope, which imaged the cluster a decade ago.
