Near-infrared spectroscopy of candidate red supergiant stars in clusters

Maria Messineo, Zhu Qingfeng, Valentin D. Ivanov +5

Clear identifications of Galactic young stellar clusters farther than a few kpc from the Sun are rare, despite the large number of candidate clusters. We aim to improve the selecti…

Massive stars in the giant molecular cloud G23.3-0.3 and W41

Maria Messineo, Karl M. Menten, Donald F. Figer +7

Young massive stars and stellar clusters continuously form in the Galactic disk, generating new HII regions within their natal giant molecular clouds and subsequently enriching the…

The VMC Survey - XII. Star cluster candidates in the Large Magellanic Cloud

André E. Piatti, Roald Guandalini, Valentin D. Ivanov +8

In this work we analyse Colour-Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs) of catalogued star clusters located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), from a YJKs photometric data set obtained by the V…

Confirmation of a cluster of galaxies hidden behind the Galactic bulge using the VVV Survey

Georgina Coldwell, Sol Alonso, Fernanda Duplancic +3

Suzaku and Chandra X-ray observations detected a new cluster of galaxies, Suzaku J1759-3450, at a redshift z=0.13. It is located behind the Milky Way, and the high Galactic dust ex…

The mass-metallicity relation of galaxies up to redshift 0.35

Ivo Saviane, Irina Yegorova, Dominique Proust +5

Our research on the age-metallicity and mass-metallicity relations of galaxies is presented and compared to the most recent investigations in the field. We have been able to measur…
