HST+IGRINS synergy to characterise the newly discovered metal-rich bulge globular cluster Patchick 126
Elisa R. Garro, Davide Massari, José G. Fernández-Trincado +10
We present the first comprehensive spectroscopic and deep photometric study of the globular cluster (GC) candidate Patchick~126. The spectroscopic analysis is based on high-resolut…
Dynamical mirages: how bar-induced resonant trapping can mimic substructure clustering in dynamical parameter spaces
Michele De Leo, Davide Massari, Michele Bellazzini +3
The complex task of unraveling the assembly history of the Milky Way is in constant evolution with new substructures identified continuously. To properly validate and characterise…
A Walk on the Retrograde Side (WRS) project. I. Tidying-up the retrograde halo with high-resolution spectroscopy
E. Ceccarelli, D. Massari, A. Mucciarelli +7
Relics of ancient accretion events experienced by the Milky Way are predominantly located within the stellar halo of our Galaxy. However, debris from different objects display over…
Extended Main-Sequence Turnoff and Red Clump in intermediate-age star clusters: A study of NGC 419
Francesca Dresbach, Davide Massari, Barbara Lanzoni +4
With the goal of untangling the origin of extended main-sequence turnoffs (eMSTOs) and extended red clumps (eRCs) in star clusters, in this work we present the study of the interme…
Proper motions in Terzan 5: membership of the multi-iron sub-populations and first constrain to the orbit
Davide Massari, E. Dalessandro, F. R. Ferraro +6
By exploiting two sets of high-resolution images obtained with HST ACS/WFC over a baseline of ~10 years we have measured relative proper motions of ~70,000 stars in the stellar sys…
A chemical trompe-l'œil: no iron spread in the globular cluster M22
A. Mucciarelli, E. Lapenna, D. Massari +5
We present the analysis of high-resolution spectra obtained with UVES and UVES-FLAMES at the Very Large Telescope of 17 giants in the globular cluster M22, a stellar system suspect…
The origin of the spurious iron spread in the globular cluster NGC 3201
A. Mucciarelli, E. Lapenna, D. Massari +2
NGC 3201 is a globular cluster suspected to have an intrinsic spread in the iron content. We re-analysed a sample of 21 cluster stars observed with UVES-FLAMES at the Very Large Te…
Ceci n'est pas a globular cluster: the metallicity distribution of the stellar system Terzan 5
Davide Massari, A. Mucciarelli, F. R. Ferraro +9
We present new determinations of the iron abundance for 220 stars belonging to the stellar system Terzan 5 in the Galactic bulge. The spectra have been acquired with FLAMES at the…
Chemical and kinematical properties of Galactic bulge stars surrounding the stellar system Terzan 5
Davide Massari, A. Mucciarelli, F. R. Ferraro +8
As part of a study aimed at determining the kinematical and chemical properties of Terzan 5, we present the first characterization of the bulge stars surrounding this puzzling stel…
The Terzan 5 puzzle: discovery of a third, metal-poor component
L. Origlia, D. Massari, R. M. Rich +4
We report on the discovery of 3 metal-poor giant stars in Terzan 5, a complex stellar system in the the Galactic bulge, known to have two populations at [Fe/H]=-0.25 and +0.3. For…
Double Blue Straggler sequences in GCs: the case of NGC 362
E. Dalessandro, F. R. Ferraro, D. Massari +8
We used high-quality images acquired with the WFC3 on board the HST to probe the blue straggler star (BSS) population of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 362. We have found two di…
The velocity dispersion profile of NGC 6388 from resolved-star spectroscopy: no evidence of a central cusp and new constraints on the black hole mass
B. Lanzoni, A. Mucciarelli, L. Origlia +8
By combining high spatial resolution and wide-field spectroscopy performed, respectively, with SINFONI and FLAMES at the ESO/VLT we measured the radial velocities of more than 600…
