A new class of fossil fragments from the hierarchical assembly of the Galactic bulge
F. R. Ferraro, C. Pallanca, B. Lanzoni +12
The formation and evolutionary processes of galaxy bulges are still unclear, and the presence of young stars in the bulge of the Milky Way is largely debated. We recently demonstra…
Stellar population astrophysics (SPA) with the TNG -- The Arcturus Lab
C. Fanelli, L. Origlia, E. Oliva +4
Context. High-resolution spectroscopy in the near-infrared (NIR) is a powerful tool for characterising the physical and chemical properties of cool-star atmospheres. The current ge…
The RGB tip of galactic globular clusters and the revision of the bound of the axion-electron coupling
O. Straniero, C. Pallanca, E. Dalessandro +5
By combining Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and ground based optical and near-infrared photometric samples, we derive the RGB tip absolute magnitude of 22 galactic globular clusters…
Radial variation of the stellar mass functions in the globular clusters M15 and M30: clues of a non-standard IMF?
Mario Cadelano, Emanuele Dalessandro, Jeremy J. Webb +5
We exploit a combination of high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope and wide-field ESO-VLT observations to study the slope of the global mass function (alphaG) and its radial variat…
MOONS Surveys of the Milky Way and its Satellites
O. A. Gonzalez, A. Mucciarelli, L. Origlia +37
The study of resolved stellar populations in the Milky Way and other Local Group galaxies can provide us with a fossil record of their chemo-dynamical and star-formation histories…
Is Fornax 4 the nuclear star cluster of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy?
S. Martocchia, E. Dalessandro, M. Salaris +2
Fornax 4 is the most distinctive globular cluster in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal. Located close to the centre of the galaxy, more metal-rich and potentially younger than its four c…
