| Clarification request(s) and responseDavid Hollywood: 6:17am Apr 5, 2008: context please?
Peter Manda: 6:21am Apr 5, 2008: context - an article on astronomy - more specifically star systems and star formation ... (thanks)
David Hollywood: 6:25am Apr 5, 2008: the original German would be nice :)
David Hollywood: 6:29am Apr 5, 2008: I can't see how we can translate it without the original lol
Peter Manda: 6:32am Apr 5, 2008: stern xxx gehört der zzz assoziation an, einer bewegungsgruppe, deren alter auf yyy millionen jahre geschätzt wird.
David Hollywood: 6:32am Apr 5, 2008: maybe that's just me though :)
Peter Manda: 6:34am Apr 5, 2008: i thought only interpreters were supposed to be simultaneous
Peter Manda: 7:45am Apr 5, 2008: secrecy - - I really apologize for the @secrecy@ but the article involves a particular discovery in stellar systems and I have a sense the authors would prefer not to have a public disclosure prior to publication ... >grimace< pleiads, centauris, and other similar systems are all described as @bewegungsgruppe@ just that I wasn't able to pin it down to something @english@ ... until y'all started helping - grateful for this ...

| bewegungsgruppe stellar system
Explanation:
If referring to stars, this is generally known as a stellar system. The Centauris, for example, form a triple stellar system.

Based on the meagre context now given, this is also known as a stellar association. Why the secrecy about the systems involved? Knowing exactly which stars are involved can help people to help you.
