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…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Resolved Stellar Populations Studies in M31 and its Satellites
C. Gallart, E. Fernández-Alvar, A. B. A. Queiroz +48
A 30 m class optical/near-IR telescope in the Northern Hemisphere, equipped for diffraction-limited imaging and high-resolution, multi-object spectroscopy of faint stars, would ena…
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey. II. Survey membership tools and kinematic analysis of NGC 6749
L. Rosignoli, M. Libralato, R. Pascale +15
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey has secured high quality astro photometric data in two bands for 34 clusters never observed with HST. When combined with Gaia positional…
Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA) IV. Chrono-dynamics of seven old star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud and the peculiar origin of NGC 1841
F. Niederhofer, D. Massari, F. Aguado-Agelet +15
In this study, we report conclusive evidence for an ancient star cluster that has been accreted by the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). By leveraging observations from the Hubble Spac…
Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA). III. NGC 288 as the first Splashed globular cluster
E. Ceccarelli, D. Massari, F. Aguado-Agelet +6
The system of globular clusters (GCs) in the Milky Way (MW) comprises a mixture of both in situ and accreted clusters. Tracing the origin of GCs provides invaluable insights into t…
The Missing Globular Cluster Survey. I. Survey overview and the first precise age estimate for ESO452-11 and 2MASS-GC01
D. Massari, M. Bellazzini, M. Libralato +17
We present the Missing Globular Cluster Survey (MGCS), a Treasury Program dedicated to the observation of all kinematically confirmed Milky Wa…
