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…

High-resolution extinction map in the direction of the bulge globular cluster NGC 6440

Cristina Pallanca, Francesco R. Ferraro, Barbara Lanzoni +3

We used optical images acquired with the UVIS channel of the Wide Field Camera 3 on board of the Hubble Space Telescope to construct the first high-resolution extinction map in the…

Spectral Energy Distribution of Blue Stragglers in the core of 47 Tucanae

S. Raso, C. Pallanca, F. R. Ferraro +8

We have constructed the Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) of a sample of Blue Straggler Stars (BSSs) in the core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, taking advantage of the larg…

Discovery of a double Blue Straggler sequence in M15: new insight into the core-collapse process

Giacomo Beccari, Francesco R. Ferraro, Emanuele Dalessandro +8

In this paper we report on the discovery of a double blue straggler star (BSS) sequence in the core of the core-collapsed cluster M15 (NGC 7078). We performed a detailed photometri…

The double Blue Straggler sequence in NGC2173: yes, a field contamination artefact!

E. Dalessandro, F. R. Ferraro, N. Bastian +3

Li et al. (2018a; Li18a) claimed that the young stellar cluster NGC2173 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) harbours a bifurcated sequence of blue straggler stars (BSSs), similar t…
