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…

Star density profiles of six old star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud

B. Lanzoni, F. R. Ferraro, E. Dalessandro +7

We used resolved star counts from Hubble Space Telescope images to determine the center of gravity and the projected density profiles of 6 old globular clusters in the Large Magell…

Size diversity of old Large Magellanic Cloud clusters as determined by internal dynamical evolution

F. R. Ferraro, B. Lanzoni, E. Dalessandro +6

The distribution of size as a function of age observed for star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is very puzzling: young clusters are all compact, while the oldest syst…
