Properties of second generation stars in Globular Clusters
Eugenio Carretta, Angela Bragaglia, Raffaele G. Gratton +1
We present the first results from the analysis of GIRAFFE spectra of more than 1200 red giants stars in 19 Galactic Globular Clusters (GCs), to study the chemical composition of se…
Self-consistent physical parameters for MC clusters from CMD modelling: application to SMC clusters observed with the SOAR telescope
Bruno M. S. Dias, Leandro O. Kerber, Basílio X. Santiago +2
The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) present a rich system of stellar clusters that can be used to probe the dynamical and chemical evolution of these neighboring and interacting irregular…
The metamorphosis of Supernova SN2008D/XRF080109: a link between Supernovae and GRBs/Hypernovae
Paolo A. Mazzali, Stefano Valenti, Massimo Della Valle +38
The only supernovae (SNe) to have shown early gamma-ray or X-ray emission thus far are overenergetic, broad-lined Type Ic SNe (Hypernovae - HNe). Recently, SN 2008D shows several n…
The pseudobulge of NGC 1292
L. Morelli, E. Pompei, A. Pizzella +6
The photometric and kinematic properties of Sb NGC 1292 suggest it hosts a pseudobulge. The properties of the stellar population of such a pseudobulge are consistent with a slow bu…
Properties of bars in the local universe
J. Méndez-Abreu, J. A. L. Aguerri, E. M. Corsini
We studied the fraction and properties of bars in a sample of about 3000 galaxies extracted from SDSS-DR5. This represents a volume limited sample with galaxies located between red…
Structural properties of disk galaxies: The intrinsic equatorial ellipticity of bulges
J. Méndez-Abreu, J. A. L. Aguerri, E. M. Corsini +1
The structural parameters of a magnitude-limited sample of 148 unbarred S0-Sb galaxies were derived to study the correlations between bulge and disk parameters as well as the proba…
