Low-resolution spectroscopic characterisation of five poorly known Galactic stellar clusters
E. Ceccarelli, M. Bellazzini, D. Massari +4
Stellar clusters preserve crucial information on the formation and evolutionary processes that shaped the Milky Way (MW) as we see it today. However, several MW clusters still lack…
The Hubble Missing Globular Clusters Survey IV. Ultra-faint compact satellites of the Milky Way. The case of Koposov 2
M. Bellazzini, R. Pascale, E. Dodd +16
In the last decades a number of extremely faint and compact Galactic satellites (Ultra Faint Compact Satellites; UFCS) have been discovered by large panoramic surveys. Their nature…
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey. III. Astro-photometric catalogs, artificial-star tests, and improved absolute proper motions
M. Libralato, A. Bellini, D. Massari +17
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey (MGCS) has taken one of the last opportunities to complete the census of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) started by past Hubble Space Te…
Star-Galaxy Classification in Deep LSST Data with Random Forest: A Pilot study on the Data Preview 1 Release
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +2
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will produce unprecedentedly deep and wide photometric catalogs, enabling transformative studies of faint stell…
STEP survey: III. STEPping stones between the clouds: the star formation history of the Magellanic Bridge
F. Ficara, V. Ripepi, M. Cignoni +8
The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) offer a unique laboratory for studying galaxy interaction and the evolution of dwarf galaxies. By investigating when and how stars formed, the star form…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- The extended stellar component of the IC10 dwarf galaxy
F. Annibali, A. M. N. Ferguson, P. M. Sanchez-Alarcon +175
We present a detailed analysis of the old, extended stellar component of the Local Group dwarf galaxy IC 10 using deep resolved-star photometry in the VIS and NISP bands of the Euc…
