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…

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…
