Phase-Space Crystallization in Galactic Globular Clusters: A Gaia-Based Metric and Implications for Technosignature Searches
A new crystallization index C_index ranks globular clusters by ordered radial and kinematic substructure from Gaia data, identifying a few complex systems but no evidence for phase-space features requiring explanations outside standard dynamics.
