The chemical DNA of the Magellanic Clouds --II. High-resolution spectroscopy of the SMC globular clusters NGC 121, NGC 339 and NGC 419
A. Mucciarelli, A. Minelli, C. Lardo +5
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is the host of a rich system of globular clusters (GCs) that span a wide age range. The chemical composition of the SMC clusters is still poorly un…
The chemical DNA of the Magellanic Clouds -- I. The chemical composition of 206 Small Magellanic Cloud red giant stars
A. Mucciarelli, A. Minelli, M. Bellazzini +4
We present the chemical composition of 206 red giant branch stars members of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using optical, high-resolution spectra collected with the multi-object…
The metallicity distribution in the core of the Sagittarus dwarf spheroidal: minimising the metallicity biases
Alice Minelli, Michele Bellazzini, Alessio Mucciarelli +7
We present metallicity and radial velocity for 450 bonafide members of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Sgr dSph) galaxy, measured from high resolution (R~18000) FLAMES@VLT spectr…
A relic from a past merger event in the Large Magellanic Cloud
A. Mucciarelli, D. Massari, A. Minelli +5
According to the standard cosmological scenario, the large galaxies that we observe today have reached their current mass via mergers with smaller galaxy satellites (Moore et al.19…
A new set of chisels for Galactic archaeology: Sc, V and Zn as taggers of accreted globular clusters
Alice Minelli, Alessio Mucciarelli, Davide Massari +3
Chemical tagging is a powerful tool to reveal the origin of stars and globular clusters (GCs), especially when dynamics alone cannot provide robust answers. So far, mostly - and…
A homogeneous comparison between the chemical composition of the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
A. Minelli, A. Mucciarelli, D. Romano +3
Similarities in the chemical composition of two of the closest Milky Way satellites, namely the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy, have been propo…
