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…
How Robust is the Cosmic Distance with Tip of Red Giant Branch against Stellar Population Variations?
Chul Chung, Young-Wook Lee, Suk-Jin Yoon +10
The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) provides a key standard candle for extragalactic distance measurements and for refining the Hubble constant. We test its robustness by quanti…
A JWST project on 47 Tucanae. Binaries among multiple populations
A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino, M. Bernizzoni +25
Almost all globular clusters (GCs) contain multiple populations consisting of stars with varying helium and light-element abundances. These populations include first-population sta…
Linking Photometry and spectroscopy: profiling multiple populations in globular clusters
E. Dondoglio, A. F. Marino, A. P. Milone +14
Our understanding of multiple populations in globular clusters (GCs) largely comes from photometry and spectroscopy: appropriate photometric diagrams can disentangle first and seco…
Mass loss along the red giant branch of the intermediate stellar populations in NGC6752 and NGC2808
M. Tailo, A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino +15
The morphology of the Horizontal Branch (HB) in Globular Clusters (GC) is among the early evidences that they contain multiple populations of stars. Indeed, the location of each st…
New perspective on the multiple population phenomenon in Galactic globular clusters from a wide-field photometric survey
S. Jang, A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino +10
Wide-field photometry of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) has been investigated to overcome limitations from the small field of view of the Hubble Space Telescope in the study of m…
