LBT-MODS spectroscopy of young stellar objects in the distant metal-poor star forming region Sh2-284: Stellar and accretion properties

Katia Biazzo, Juan Manuel Alcalá, Felice Cusano +9

We present a spectroscopic survey of young stellar objects (YSOs) in Sh2-284, a distant (~4.5 kpc), low-metallicity (Z~1/3 Zsun) star-forming region (SFR) toward the Galactic antic…

Binary Stars as Dynamical Tracers in Globular Clusters .I. First Observations of Bimodal Spatial Distributions

M. Cadelano, E. Dalessandro, J. Bruce +7

We present the first homogeneous study of the radial distribution of the binary fraction across the full extent of six Galactic globular clusters (GCs) spanning a wide range of dyn…

RGB Tip distance to the faint gas-rich dwarf KK 153

M. Bellazzini, G. Beccari, R. Pascale +4

KK 153 is a star-forming dwarf galaxy that has been recently proposed as a new member of the sparsely populated class of gas-rich ultra faint dwarfs, lying in the outskirts of the…

Constraining Lens Masses in Moderately to Highly Magnified Microlensing Events from Gaia

U. Pylypenko, Ł. Wyrzykowski, P. J. Mikołajczyk +57

Microlensing events provide a unique way to detect and measure the masses of isolated, non-luminous objects, particularly dark stellar remnants. Under certain conditions, it is pos…

A possible sub-kiloparsec dual AGN buried behind the galaxy curtain

P. Severgnini, V. Braito, C. Cicone +11

Although thousands of galaxy mergers are known, only a handful of sub-kiloparsec-scale supermassive black hole (SMBH) pairs have been confirmed so far, leaving a huge gap between t…
