The cluster Terzan 5 as a remnant of a primordial building block of the Galactic bulge
F. R. Ferraro, E. Dalessandro, A. Mucciarelli +9
Globular star clusters are compact and massive stellar systems old enough to have witnessed the entire history of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. Although recent results suggest that th…
Near Infrared properties of 12 Globular Clusters toward the inner Bulge of the Galaxy
E. Valenti, F. R. Ferraro, L. Origlia
We present near-IR Colour-Magnitude diagrams and physical parameters for a sample of 12 galactic globular clusters located toward the inner Bulge region. For each cluster we provid…
Red Clump stars in the Bootes III stellar system
M. Correnti, M. Bellazzini, F. R. Ferraro
We report on the detection of a population of Red Clump (RC) stars probably associated with the recently discovered stellar system Bootes III. The RC is identified as a 3 sigma pea…
The non-peculiar velocity dispersion profile of the stellar system omega Centauri
A. Sollima, M. Bellazzini, R. L. Smart +4
We present the results of a survey of radial velocities over a wide region extending from r~10 arcmin out to r~80 arcmin (~1.5 tidal radii) within the massive star cluster omega Ce…
Multiwavelength photometry in the Globular Cluster M2
E. Dalessandro, G. Beccari, B. Lanzoni +3
We present a multiwavelength photometric analysis of the globular cluster M2. The data-set has been obtained by combining high-resolution (HST/WFPC2 and ACS) and wide-field (GALEX)…
Looking outside the Galaxy: the discovery of chemical anomalies in 3 old Large Magellanic Cloud clusters
A. Mucciarelli, L. Origlia, F. R. Ferraro +1
By using the multifiber spectrograph FLAMES mounted at the ESO-VLT, we have obtained high-resolution spectra for 18 giant stars, belonging to 3 old globular clusters of the Large M…
