Sasi Saroon, B. Dias, T. Tsujimotto +18
The chemical evolution history of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is complex and is best understood through a comprehensive analysis of star clusters across its various regions. T…
The VISCACHA Survey: XIII. The extended main-sequence turn-off in intermediate-age low-mass clusters
Stefano Souza, Angeles Pérez-Villegas, Bruno Dias +16
The extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO) is a well-known feature observed in young and intermediate-age star clusters, characterized by a significant broadening of the main-sequ…
Multi-Wavelength characterization of VVVX open clusters
