Unveiling the nature of 12 new low-luminosity Galactic Globular Cluster Candidates
E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, B. Alessi +10
The Galactic globular cluster system is incomplete, especially in the low latitude regions of the Galactic bulge and disk. We report the physical characterization of twelve star cl…
Inspection of 19 globular cluster candidates in the Galactic bulge with the VVV survey
E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, M. Gómez +4
The census of the globular clusters (GCs) in the Milky Way (MW) is still a work in progress. We explore the nature of 19 new GC candidates in the Galactic bulge, based on the analy…
APOGEE-2S view of the globular cluster Patchick 125 (Gran 3). New metallicity and elemental abundances from high-resolution spectroscopy
José G. Fernández-Trincado, Dante Minniti, Elisa R. Garro +1
We present detailed elemental abundances, radial velocity, and orbital elements for Patchick~125, a recently discovered metal-poor globular cluster (GC) in the direction of the Gal…
CAPOS: The bulge Cluster APOgee Survey III. Spectroscopic Tomography of Tonantzintla 2
José G. Fernández-Trincado, Sandro Villanova, Doug Geisler +10
(ABRIDGED) We have performed the first detailed spectral analysis of red giant members of the relatively high-metallicity globular cluster (GC) Tononzintla~2 (Ton~2) using high-res…
APOGEE Chemical Abundance Patterns of the Massive Milky Way Satellites
Sten Hasselquist, Christian R. Hayes, Jianhui Lian +42
The SDSS-IV Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey has obtained high-resolution spectra for thousands of red giant stars distributed among the massi…
Physical characterization of recently discovered globular clusters in the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy II. Metallicities, ages and luminosities
E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, M. Gómez +1
Globular clusters (GCs) are important tools to rebuild the accretion history of a galaxy. There are newly discovered GCs in the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy, that can be used as…
Eight more low luminosity globular clusters in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
D. Minniti, M. Gómez, J. Alonso-García +2
Context. The Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy is merging with the Milky Way, and the study of its globular clusters (GCs) is important to understand the history and outcome of this o…
CAPOS: the bulge Cluster APOgee Survey II. The Intriguing "Sequoia" Globular Cluster FSR 1758
María Romero-Colmenares, José G. Fernández-Trincado, Doug Geisler +15
We present results from a study of fifteen red giant members of the intermediate-metallicity globular cluster (GC) FSR 1758 using high-resolution near-infrared spectra collected wi…
Variable stars in the VVV globular clusters. II. NGC6441, NGC6569, NGC6626 (M28), NGC6656 (M22), 2MASS-GC02, and Terzan10
Javier Alonso-García, Leigh C. Smith, Márcio Catelan +18
The Galactic globular clusters (GGCs) located in the inner regions of the Milky Way suffer from high extinction that makes their observation challenging. The VVV survey provides a…
Discovery of new globular clusters in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
D. Minniti, V. Ripepi, J. G. Fernández-Trincado +14
Context. Globular clusters (GCs) are witnesses of the past accretion events onto the Milky Way (MW). In particular, the GCs of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy are important prob…
Confirmation and physical characterization of the new bulge globular cluster Patchick 99 from the VVV and Gaia surveys
E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, M. Gómez +4
Globular clusters (GCs) are important tools to understand the formation and evolution of the Milky Way (MW). The known MW sample is still incomplete, so the discovery of new GC can…
