Evidences of tidal distortion and mass loss from the old open cluster NGC 6791
Giovanni Carraro, Emanuele Dalessandro
We present the first evidence of clear signatures of tidal distortions in the density distribution of the fascinating open cluster NGC~6791. We find that the 2D density map shows a…

Terzan 5 is a stellar system located in the inner Bulge of the Galaxy and has been historically catalogued as a globular cluster. However, recent photometric (Ferraro et al. 2009)…
Density and kinematic cusps in M54 at the heart of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy: evidence for a 10^4 M_sun Black Hole?
R. Ibata, M. Bellazzini, S. C. Chapman +8
We report the detection of a stellar density cusp and a velocity dispersion increase in the center of the globular cluster M54, located at the center of the Sagittarius dwarf galax…
