A populous intermediate-age open cluster and evidence of an embedded cluster among the FSR globular cluster candidates
Eduardo Bica, Charles Bonatto
We study the nature of the globular cluster (GC) candidates FSR 1603 and FSR 1755 selected from the catalogue of \citet{FSRcat}. Their properties are investigated with 2MASS field-…
Probing FSR star cluster candidates in bulge/disk directions with 2MASS colour-magnitude diagrams
Eduardo Bica, Charles Bonatto, Denilso Camargo
We analyse 20 star cluster candidates projected mostly in the bulge direction (). The sample contains all candidates in that sector classified by \citet{FSRcat} wi…
Structural parameters of star clusters: relations among light, mass and star-count radial profiles and the dependence on photometric depth
Charles Bonatto, Eduardo Bica
Structural parameters of model star clusters are measured in radial profiles built from number-density, mass-density and surface-brightness distributions, assuming as well differen…
Structural parameters of 11 faint Galactic globular clusters derived with 2MASS
C. Bonatto, E. Bica
The determination of structural parameters of 11 faint Galactic globular clusters that, in most cases, had not been previously studied in this context. The clusters are IC1257, Lyn…
FSR584 - a new globular cluster in the Galaxy?
E. Bica, C. Bonatto, S. Ortolani +1
We investigate the nature of the recently catalogued star cluster candidate FSR584, which is projected in the direction of the molecular cloud W3 and may be the nearest globular cl…
FSR1767 - a new globular cluster in the Galaxy
Charles Bonatto, Eduardo Bica, Sergio Ortolani +1
The globular cluster (GC) nature of the recently catalogued candidate FSR 1767 is established in the present work. It results as the closest GC so far detected in the Galaxy. The n…
