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…
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…
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…
The role of mass loss in constraining quenching time in dwarf galaxies from AGB and RGB star counts
Paolo Ventura, Richard D'Souza, Flavia Dell'Agli +4
The capability of reconstructing the past star formation history of dwarf elliptical galaxies out of the Local Volume relies on modelling bright stellar populations currently evolv…
A deep HST view of the open cluster NGC2158: binaries, mass functions, and M-dwarf discontinuity
A. V. Marchuk, F. Muratore, A. P. Milone +13
A significant fraction of stars in both the Galactic field and stellar clusters are members of binary systems. Understanding their properties is therefore essential for a comprehen…
Noble gases Neon and argon: a role for the chemical patterns of multiple populations in globular clusters?
P. Ventura, F. D'Antona, M. Tailo +3
We focus on the sodium destruction in models reaching the high hot bottom burning temperatures needed to efficiently cycle oxygen to nitrogen in AGB models at the nominal [Fe/H] of…
