Globular Clusters in the Time of the JWST. I. Survey Design and First Results on Multiple Populations and Beyond
A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino, G. Cordoni +25
Globular clusters (GCs) host multiple stellar populations with distinct chemical compositions, but their properties among very low-mass stars remain poorly constrained. The James W…
The applicability of the JAGB method for measuring the distance of galaxies subject to different metal enrichment rates
Claudio Gavetti, Paolo Ventura, Flavia Dell'Agli +4
The JAGB method has been proposed in recent years as a possible distance indicator for galaxies in the Local Group and beyond. However, the nature of the stars populating the J reg…
A deep HST view of the open cluster NGC2158: binaries, mass functions, and M-dwarf discontinuity
A. V. Marchuk, F. Muratore, A. P. Milone +13
A significant fraction of stars in both the Galactic field and stellar clusters are members of binary systems. Understanding their properties is therefore essential for a comprehen…
s-process Enriched Post-AGB Star J003643.94-723722.1 in the SMC with an Extreme C/O Ratio and the First Precise Detection of Lead
Meghna Menon, Devika Kamath, Maksym Mohorian +6
Post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) stars are exquisite tracers of s-process nucleosynthesis via their surface abundances. We present a comprehensive analysis of J003643.947…
A study of Andromeda to improve our knowledge on the evolution and dust production by AGB stars
Claudio Gavetti, Paolo Ventura, Flavia Dell'Agli +4
We study the AGB population of the galaxy M31, based on available HST and Spitzer data, to characterize the individual sources in terms of mass, metallicity and formation epoch of…
