A new IR-Array photometric survey of Galactic Globular Clusters: A detailed study of the RGB sequence as a step towards the global testing of stellar models
Francesco R. Ferraro, Paolo Montegriffo, Livia Origlia +1
We present high quality near infrared Color Magnitude Diagrams of 10 Galactic Globular Clusters (GCs) spanning a wide metallicity range (-2.15<[Fe/H]<-0.2). This homogeneous data-b…
The Large Magellanic Cloud globular cluster NGC 1866: new data, new models, new analysis
Vincenzo Testa, Francesco R. Ferraro, Alessandro Chieffi +3
We present a new deep (down to V ~ 24) photometry of a wide region (6'x 6') around the LMC globular cluster NGC1866: our sample is complete, down to 3 mag below the brightest MS st…
The giant, horizontal and asymptotic branches of galactic globular clusters. I. The catalog, photometric observables and features
F. R. Ferraro, M. Messineo, F. Fusi Pecci +4
A catalog including a set of the most recent Color Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs) is presented for a sample of 61 Galactic Globular Clusters (GGCs). We used this data-base to perform an…
The Luminosity Function of M3
R. T. Rood, E. Carretta, B. Paltrinieri +6
We present a high precision, large sample luminosity function (LF) for the Galactic globular cluster M3. With a combination of ground based and Hubble Space Telescope data we cover…
Blue Straggler Stars: The Spectacular Population in M80
Francesco R. Ferraro, Barbara Paltrinieri, Robert T. Rood +1
Using HST-WFPC2 observations in two ultraviolet (UV) filters (F225W and F336W) of the central region of the high density Galactic Globular cluster (GGC) M80 we have identified 305…
