The Large Magellanic Cloud through the lens of the James Webb Space Telescope: Binaries and the mass function in the galaxy's outskirts
M. V. Legnardi, F. Muratore, A. P. Milone +16
Nearby galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) offer an ideal laboratory to test the initial mass function under different physical conditions, but previous works have be…
The complex stellar system M 22: constraining the chemical enrichment from AGB stars using magnesium isotope ratios
M. McKenzie, D. Yong, A. I. Karakas +8
The paper measures magnesium isotope ratios in the globular‑cluster-like system M 22 and finds that low‑mass (1–3 M☉) AGB stars can explain its s‑process enrichment, while higher‑m…
Multiple populations along the asymptotic giant branch: a Gaia+APOGEE study of 22 Galactic globular clusters
Emanuele Dondoglio, A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino +9
We present an investigation of multiple stellar populations along the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) in 22 globular clusters (GCs), exploiting APOGEE spectroscopy combined with AGB…
Hubble Space Telescope survey of Magellanic Cloud star clusters. Binaries, mass functions, blue stragglers, and structural parameters
F. Muratore, M. V. Legnardi, A. P. Milone +7
Binary stars are key tracers of the dynamical evolution of star clusters and provide important constraints on stellar populations and mass functions. The Magellanic Clouds host clu…
Globular Clusters in the Time of the JWST. I. Survey Design and First Results on Multiple Populations and Beyond
A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino, G. Cordoni +25
Globular clusters (GCs) host multiple stellar populations with distinct chemical compositions, but their properties among very low-mass stars remain poorly constrained. The James W…
Exploring the ultra-faint dwarf Bootes I using JWST and HST: Metallicity distribution and binaries
F. Muratore, M. V. Legnardi, A. P. Milone +8
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are among the oldest and most metal-poor stellar systems in the Universe. Their metallicity distribution encodes the fossil record of the earliest…
