JWST observations of 47 Tucanae: I. The low-mass main sequence down to the hydrogen-burning limit
M. Scalco, R. Gerasimov, L. R. Bedin +4
We present the first results of a series of studies based on JWST observations of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc, or NGC 104) obtained with NIRCam. By combining new data w…
Euclid: The convective-transition gap of 47 Tuc
M. Libralato, M. Griggio, R. Gerasimov +140
We report the first detection of the `convective-transition gap' (also known as `M-dwarf gap') in the globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104) thanks to Euclid data. This feature, linked…
JWST imaging of omega Centauri: II. Evidence for a split white dwarf cooling sequence in the near-infrared
M. Scalco, M. Salaris, L. R. Bedin +11
We present a detailed analysis of the white dwarf cooling sequence (WD CS) in omega Centauri based on combined Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and JWST observations. Our analysis conf…
JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters -- VI. The Lowest-Mass Objects in M 4 and the Galactic Bulge
L. R. Bedin, R. Gerasimov, A. Calamida +8
We present `James Webb Space Telescope' observations of M4 -- the closest globular cluster -- that probe the lower Main Sequence down to the hydrogen-burning limit. The unveiled st…
The internal kinematics of NGC 2808 and its multiple populations
M. Griggio, A. Bellini, F. I. Aros +10
We use new HST observations coupled with archival data spanning a total temporal baseline of 17 years to study the internal kinematics of the multiple populations in the globular c…
JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters -- V. The White Dwarfs Cooling Sequence of M4
L. R. Bedin, M. Libralato, M. Salaris +9
We combine infrared (IR) observations collected by the James Webb Space Telescope with optical deep images by the Hubble Space Telescope taken approximately 20 years earlier to com…
Euclid: High-precision imaging astrometry and photometry from Early Release Observations. I. Internal kinematics of NGC 6397 by combining Euclid and Gaia data
M. Libralato, L. R. Bedin, M. Griggio +175
The instruments at the focus of the Euclid space observatory offer superb, diffraction-limited imaging over an unprecedented (from space) wide field of view of 0.57 deg. This e…
JWST imaging of the closest globular clusters -- IV. Chemistry, luminosity, and mass functions of the lowest-mass members in the NIRISS parallel fields
M. Libralato, R. Gerasimov, L. Bedin +9
We present observations of the two closest globular clusters, NGC 6121 and NGC 6397, taken with the NIRISS detector of JWST. The combination of our new JWST data with archival Hubb…
The HST Large Programme on Omega Centauri -- VII. The white dwarf cooling sequence
M. Scalco, M. Salaris, L. Bedin +9
We present a study of the white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS) in the globular cluster (GC) Omega Centauri, the primary goal of a dedicated Hubble Space Telescope (HST) programme…
JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters -- I. Possible Infrared Excess Among White Dwarfs in NGC 6397
L. R. Bedin, D. Nardiello, M. Salaris +9
We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of the globular cluster NGC 6397 and use them to extend to infrared wavelengths the characterization of the cluster's entire whit…
JWST Imaging of the Closest Globular Clusters -- III. Multiple Populations along the low-mass Main Sequence stars of NGC 6397
M. Scalco, M. Libralato, R. Gerasimov +9
Thanks to its exceptional near-infrared photometry, JWST can effectively contribute to the discovery, characterization, and understanding of multiple stellar populations in globula…
The unusual planetary nebula nucleus in the Galactic open cluster M37 and six further hot white dwarf candidates
Klaus Werner, Nicole Reindl, Roberto Raddi +6
Planetary nebulae in Galactic open star clusters are rare objects; only three are known to date. They are of particular interest because their distance can be determined with high…

D. Nardiello, L. R. Bedin, M. Griggio +3
In the third paper of this series aimed at developing the tools for analysing resolved stellar populations using the cameras on board of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we p…
Exploring the origin of the extended main sequence turn off in M37 through the white dwarf cooling sequence
