Leo I: the classical dwarf spheroidal galaxy with the highest dark-matter density
R. Pascale, C. Nipoti, F. Calura +1
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are known for being strongly dominated by dark matter (DM), which makes them convenient targets for investigating the DM nature and distribution.…
Tracing the W3/W4/W5 and Perseus complex dynamical evolution with star clusters
A. Della Croce, E. Dalessandro, E. Vesperini +4
The Perseus complex offers an ideal testbed to study cluster formation and early evolution as it hosts two major hierarchical structures (namely LISCA I and LISCA II) and the W3/W4…
Inference of black-hole mass fraction in Galactic globular clusters. A multi-dimensional approach to break the initial-condition degeneracies
A. Della Croce, F. I. Aros, E. Vesperini +4
Context. Globular clusters (GCs) are suggested to host many stellar-mass black holes (BHs) at their centers, thus resulting in ideal testbeds for BH formation and retention theorie…
The central black hole in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo I Not supermassive, at most an intermediate-mass candidate
R. Pascale, C. Nipoti, F. Calura +1
It has been recently claimed that a surprisingly massive black hole (BH) is present in the core of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) Leo I. Based on integral field spectroscopy, t…
Young, wild and free: the early expansion of star clusters
Alessandro Della Croce, Emanuele Dalessandro, Alexander R. Livernois +1
Early expansion plays a fundamental role in the dynamical evolution of young star clusters. However, until very recently most of our understanding of cluster expansion was based on…
The most stringent upper limit from dynamical models on the mass of a central black hole in 47 Tucanae
Alessandro Della Croce, Raffaele Pascale, Eric Giunchi +3
Globular clusters (GCs) were proposed as promising sites for discovering intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), possibly providing crucial insights into the formation and evolution…
Ongoing hierarchical massive cluster assembly: the LISCA II structure in the Perseus complex
A. Della Croce, E. Dalessandro, A. Livernois +7
We report on the identification of a massive ( M) sub-structured stellar system in the Galactic Perseus complex likely undergoing hierarchical cluster assembly. S…
