Deep VISTA observations of the Magellanic Clouds (VMCDeep)

M. -R. L. Cioni, A. O. Omkumar, N. J. G. Cross +28

The central regions of galaxies challenge observers with a high density of stars, gas and dust. The LMC hosts a dense stellar bar whereas the SMC hosts a dense core, which have elu…

Strikingly high fraction of fast rotators in Magellanic Cloud star clusters

Greta Ettorre, Alessandro Mazzi, Leo Girardi +14

There has been growing evidence that the rich star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds contain significant fractions of rapidly rotating stars. In this work, we aim to constrain thes…

Light curve's recovery with Rubin-LSST: II. UnVEiling the darknesS of The gAlactic buLgE (VESTALE) with RR Lyrae

M. Di Criscienzo, S. Leccia, V. Braga +16

This work is part of VESTALE, a project initiated within the Rubin-LSST Cadence Strategy Optimization Process . Its goal is to explore the potential of Rubin-LSST observations aime…

The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program IV: The Star Formation History of the Local Group Galaxy WLM

Kristen. B. W. McQuinn, Max J. B. Newman, Alessandro Savino +23

We present the first star formation history (SFH) and age-metallicity relation (AMR) derived from resolved stellar populations imaged with the JWST NIRCam instrument. The target is…

An Optical Search for New Outbursting Low Mass X-Ray Binaries

Yuankun Wang, Eric C. Bellm, Allison Crossland +5

Transient Low-Mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are discovered largely by X-ray and gamma-ray all-sky monitors. The X-ray outburst is also accompanied by an optical brightening, which em…

Dissecting the Gaia HR diagram II. The vertical structure of the star formation history across the Solar Cylinder

Alessandro Mazzi, Léo Girardi, Michele Trabucchi +11

Starting from the Gaia DR3 HR diagram, we derive the star formation history (SFH) as a function of distance from the Galactic Plane within a cylinder centred on the Sun with a 200~…

The first comprehensive Milky Way stellar mock catalogue for the Chinese Space Station Telescope Survey Camera

Yang Chen, Xiaoting Fu, Chao Liu +9

The Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST) is a cutting-edge two-meter astronomical space telescope currently under construction. Its primary Survey Camera (SC) is designed to cond…

Rubin LSST observing strategies to maximize volume and uniformity coverage of Star Forming Regions in the Galactic Plane

L. Prisinzano, R. Bonito, A. Mazzi +9

A complete map of the youngest stellar populations of the Milky Way in the era of all-sky surveys, is one of the most challenging goals in modern astrophysics. The characterisation…

Simulating the Legacy Survey of Space and Time stellar content with TRILEGAL

Piero Dal Tio, Giada Pastorelli, Alessandro Mazzi +19

We describe a large simulation of the stars to be observed by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The simulation is based on the TRILEGAL code, wh…

The VMC survey -- XLIII. The spatially resolved star formation history across the Large Magellanic Cloud

Alessandro Mazzi, Léo Girardi, Simone Zaggia +19

We derive the spatially-resolved star formation history (SFH) for a deg area across the main body of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using the near-infrared photometry f…

Dissecting the Gaia HR diagram within 200 pc

Piero Dal Tio, Alessandro Mazzi, Leo Girardi +6

We analyse the high-quality Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD) derived from Gaia data release 2 for the Solar Neighbourhood. We start building an almost-complete sample within 200 p…
