A study of the blue straggler population of the old open cluster Collinder 261

M. J. Rain, G. Carraro, J. A. Ahumada +4

Blue Stragglers are stars located in an unexpected region of the color-magnitude diagram of a stellar population, as they appear bluer and more luminous than the stars in the turno…

The GALAH Survey: Temporal Chemical Enrichment of the Galactic Disk

Jane Lin, Martin Asplund, Yuan-Sen Ting +22

We present isochrone ages and initial bulk metallicities (, by accounting for diffusion) of 163,722 stars from the GALAH Data Release 2, mainly composed of main…

What is a globular cluster? An observational perspective

Raffaele Gratton, Angela Bragaglia, Eugenio Carretta +3

Globular clusters are large and dense agglomerate of stars. At variance with smaller clusters of stars, they exhibit signs of some chemical evolution. At least for this reason, the…
