Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA). VI. The age-metallicity relation of in-situ clusters and the age of the Universe

Chiara Zerbinati, Davide Massari, Fernando Aguado-Agelet +11

Within the homogeneous framework for the derivation of GC ages defined by the CARMA collaboration, we focus on the clusters born in-situ in the MW. As they are the oldest among the…

CRIMSONS: An Online Tool for Modeling Chemical Enrichment with Stochastic IMF Sampling

Martina Rossi, Lapo Querci, Stefano Ciabattini +14

Chemical enrichment is a universal process shaped by several interconnected factors, including stellar feedback, the nature of chemical polluters, and the underlying distribution o…

Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA). V. The chronological merger tree of the Milky Way

Fernando Aguado-Agelet, Chiara Zerbinati, Davide Massari +9

We present a new age determination of 24 globular clusters (GCs) dynamically associated with the main accretion events experienced by the Milky Way (MW), as part of the Cluster Age…

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…

Evidence of a massive accretion event 1.8 billion years before the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger

Davide Massari, Chiara Zerbinati, Cristiano Fanelli +15

The merger history of the Galaxy has been traced back firmly to redshift 2 (10 Billion years ago). While evidence for the existence of at least one more significant merger before t…

Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal) -- III. Age and metallicity distribution of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus stars near the Sun

Yllari K. González-Koda, Tomás Ruiz-Lara, Carme Gallart +14

Context. Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus is considered the last major merger that contributed to the formation of the Milky Way. Its remnants dominate the nearby accreted stellar halo of th…

Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA). II. The age-metallicity relation of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus globular clusters

Fernando Aguado-Agelet, Davide Massari, Matteo Monelli +8

We present the age determination of 13 globular clusters dynamically associated with the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) merger event, as part of the CARMA project effort to trace the…

The earliest phases of CNO enrichment in galaxies

Martina Rossi, Donatella Romano, Alessio Mucciarelli +3

Context. The recent detection of nitrogen-enhanced, metal-poor galaxies at high redshift by the James Webb Space Telescope has sparked renewed interest in exploring the chemical ev…

Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA) I. The final word on the origin of NGC6388 and NGC6441

Davide Massari, Fernando Aguado-Agelet, Matteo Monelli +11

We present CARMA, the Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly project, that aims at determining precise and accurate age measurements for the entire system of known Gala…
