KMHK 1762: Another star cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud age gap
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +11
The star cluster (SC) age distribution of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) exhibits a gap from 4 to 10 Gyr ago, with an almost total absence of SCs. Within this age gap, onl…
Deep VLT photometry of the faint stellar system in the Large Magellanic Cloud periphery YMCA-1
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +11
We present FORS2@VLT follow-up photometry of YMCA-1, a recently discovered stellar system located 13\degr~from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) center. The deep color-magnitude dia…
Discovery of NES, an extended tidal structure in the North-East of the Large Magellanic Cloud
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +4
We report on the discovery of a new diffuse stellar sub-structure protruding for 5 degrees from the North-Eastern rim of the LMC disc. The structure, that we dub North-East Structu…
YMCA-1: a new remote star cluster of the Milky Way?
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +11
We report the possible discovery of a new stellar system (YMCA-1), identified during a search for small scale overdensities in the photometric data of the YMCA survey. The object's…
Euclid preparation: X. The Euclid photometric-redshift challenge
Euclid Collaboration, G. Desprez, S. Paltani +170
Forthcoming large photometric surveys for cosmology require precise and accurate photometric redshift (photo-z) measurements for the success of their main science objectives. Howev…
A search for star clusters in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud: indication of clusters in the age gap
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +7
The YMCA (Yes, Magellanic Clouds Again) and STEP ({The SMC in Time: Evolution of a Prototype interacting late-type dwarf galaxy) projects are deep g,i photometric surveys carried o…
