The internal kinematics of NGC 2808 and its multiple populations

M. Griggio, A. Bellini, F. I. Aros +10

We use new HST observations coupled with archival data spanning a total temporal baseline of 17 years to study the internal kinematics of the multiple populations in the globular c…

Extended Main-Sequence Turnoff and Red Clump in intermediate-age star clusters: A study of NGC 419

Francesca Dresbach, Davide Massari, Barbara Lanzoni +4

With the goal of untangling the origin of extended main-sequence turnoffs (eMSTOs) and extended red clumps (eRCs) in star clusters, in this work we present the study of the interme…

Blue Stragglers as tracers of the dynamical state of two clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud: NGC 339 and NGC 419

Francesca Dresbach, Davide Massari, Barbara Lanzoni +5

The level of central segregation of Blue Straggler stars proved to be an excellent tracer of the dynamical evolution of old star clusters (the so-called "dynamical clock"), both in…

3D core kinematics of NGC6362: central rotation in a dynamically evolved globular cluster

E. Dalessandro, S. Raso, S. Kamann +4

We present a detailed 3D kinematic analysis of the central regions () of the low-mass and dynamically evolved galactic globular cluster NGC 6362. The study is based on data…

Kinematic complexity around NGC419: resolving the proper motion of the cluster, the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Magellanic Bridge

Davide Massari, Silvia Raso, Mattia Libralato +1

We present proper motions in the direction of the star cluster NGC419 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Because of the high precision o…

A kinematic view of NGC 1261: structural parameters, internal dispersion, absolute proper motion and Blue Straggler Stars

S. Raso, M. Libralato, A. Bellini +8

We constructed a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) astro-photometric catalog of the central region of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 1261. This catalog, complemented with Gaia DR2 da…
