The convective-transition gap in 47 Tucanae with JWST

M. Scalco, L. R. Bedin, M. Libralato +3

We report the detection of the convective-transition gap along the lower main sequence (MS) of the Galactic globular cluster (GC) 47 Tucanae using deep James Webb Space Telescope (…

Euclid: Data Release 1 (DR1) -- Fornax-7, an ultra-faint companion to the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy? A remote star cluster or dwarf satellite of the Fornax dSph

T. Saifollahi, A. Lançon, A. M. N. Ferguson +165

We report the discovery of an ultra-faint stellar system in the vicinity of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy in Euclid DR1. This system, which we designate Fornax-7, is lo…

The JADES Transient Survey II: Volumetric Supernova Rates out to z~5

Christa DeCoursey, Christian Vassallo, Louis-Gregory Strolger +27

The JADES Transient Survey (JTS) identified 83 supernova (SN) candidates in the JADES Deep Field, a 25 arcmin region with deep (30 mag) multi-band, multi-epoch JWST…

A Long Period Stellar-Mass Black Hole Binary in Centauri

Matthew Whitaker, Evan Kerr, Anil Seth +16

Modern simulations of stellar dynamics in globular clusters peg a dominant role for stellar-mass black holes, but direct evidence for black holes in clusters remains limited. We pr…

Euclid: Early Release Observations -- Internal kinematics and the convective-transition gap of NGC 6397

M. Griggio, M. Libralato, R. Gerasimov +130

We present a 'multiple-pass' data-reduction tool designed for Euclid, based on software developed for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which improves the astrometric and photometr…

JWST imaging of omega Centauri -- I. Luminosity and mass functions of its main sequence populations

M. Scalco, R. Gerasimov, L. R. Bedin +10

This paper presents the first study of the most massive globular cluster (GC) in the Milky Way, omega Centauri, employing recently acquired JWST deep images. By combining these dat…

Combined Gemini-South and HST photometric analysis of the globular cluster NGC 6558. The age of the metal-poor population of the Galactic Bulge

S. O. Souza, M. Libralato, D. Nardiello +8

NGC~6558 is a low-galactic latitude globular cluster projected in the direction of the Galactic bulge. Due to high reddening, this region presents challenges in deriving accurate p…

High-precision astrometry with VVV -- II. A near-infrared extension of Gaia into the Galactic plane

M. Griggio, M. Libralato, A. Bellini +4

Aims. We use near-infrared, ground-based data from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey to indirectly extend the astrometry provided by the Gaia catalog to objects in…

Astrometric star-cluster membership probability: application to the case of M 37 with Gaia EDR3

M. Griggio, L. R. Bedin

In this work, starting from the well-accepted relations in literature, we introduce a new formalism to compute the astrometric membership probabilities for sources in star clusters…
