oMEGACat. VIII. A Subpopulation Census of ω Centauri
C. Clontz, A. C. Seth, Z. Wang +8
An understanding of the assembly history of the complex star cluster Omega Centauri has long been sought after, with many studies separating the stars on the color-magnitude diagra…
oMEGACat. VII. Tracing Interstellar and Intracluster Medium of Centauri using Sodium Absorptions
Z. Wang, A. C. Seth, M. Latour +14
We investigate the foreground interstellar medium along the line of sight and intracluster medium of Centauri ( Cen) by measuring the equivalent width of Na I D absorptions…
Studying Binary Systems in Omega Centauri with MUSE: II. Observational constraints on the orbital period distribution
S. Saracino, S. Kamann, F. Wragg +8
Omega Centauri ( Cen) is one of the most complex star clusters in the Milky Way, and likely the stripped nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy. Being the subject of debate between…
A stellar census in globular clusters with MUSE. Metallicity spread and dispersion among first-population stars
M. Latour, S. Kamann, S. Martocchia +3
Multiple populations are ubiquitous in the old massive globular clusters (GCs) of the Milky Way. It is still unclear how they arose during the formation of a GC. The topic of iron…
oMEGACat V: Helium Enrichment in Centauri as a Function of Metallicity
C. Clontz, A. C. Seth, Z. Wang +12
Constraining the helium enhancement in stars is critical for understanding the formation mechanisms of multiple populations in star clusters. However, measuring helium variations f…
Studying Binary Systems in Omega Centauri with MUSE. I. Detection of Spectroscopic Binaries
F. Wragg, S. Kamann, S. Saracino +6
NGC 5139 ( Cen), is the closest candidate of a Nuclear Star Cluster that has been stripped of its host galaxy in the Milky Way. Despite extensive studies through the last decade…
oMEGACat IV: Constraining Ages of Omega Centauri sub-giant branch stars with HST and MUSE
C. Clontz, A. C. Seth, A. Dotter +13
We present age estimates for over 8100 sub-giant branch (SGB) stars in Omega Centauri ( Cen) to study its star formation history. Our large data set, which combines multi-wavele…
oMEGACat III. Multi-band photometry and metallicities reveal spatially well-mixed populations within Centauri's half-light radius
M. S. Nitschai, N. Neumayer, M. Häberle +15
Centauri, the most massive globular cluster in the Milky Way, has long been suspected to be the stripped nucleus of a dwarf galaxy that fell into the Galaxy a long time ago. Th…
oMEGACat II -- Photometry and proper motions for 1.4 million stars in Omega Centauri and its rotation in the plane of the sky
Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Andrea Bellini +15
Omega Centauri ( Cen) is the most massive globular cluster of the Milky Way. It is thought to be the nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy because of its high mass and its complex…
