ROLLIN': Rotating globular cluster simulations II. The complex morphology of globular clusters driven by multi-scale dynamics

Arn Marklund, Paolo Bianchini, Anna Lisa Varri +2

Globular clusters (GCs) are inherently non-spherical systems that in many cases show internal rotation. Typically, rotation is considered the main driver of GC morphology; however,…

The chemo-dynamical complexity of ω Centauri: different kinematics for different populations

G. Pagnini, P. Bianchini, P. Di Matteo +1

The origin of ω Centauri remains one of the key open problems in stellar dynamics and chemical evolution. Its large abundance spreads and multiple populations suggest a formation h…

Asymmetries in stellar streams induced by a galactic merger

Claire Guillaume, Florent Renaud, Nicolas F. Martin +6

Stellar streams are sensitive to perturbations from, e.g., giant molecular clouds, bars and spiral arms, infalling dwarf galaxies, or globular clusters which can imprint gaps, clum…

The Nephele ecosystem: stars, globular clusters, and stellar streams associated with the progenitor galaxy of Centauri

G. Pagnini, P. Di Matteo, M. Haywood +7

Globular clusters (GCs) and their associated stellar streams are key tracers of the hierarchical assembly history of the Milky Way. Centauri, the most massive and chemically co…

A new classification of ex-situ and in-situ Galactic globular clusters based on a method trained on Milky Way analogues in the TNG50 cosmological simulations

Pierre Boldrini, Paola Di Matteo, Chervin Laporte +3

We present a novel method combining existing cosmological simulations and orbital integration to study the hierarchical assembly of globular cluster (GC) populations in the Milky W…

Chemical Abundances in the Nuclear Star Cluster of the Milky Way: alpha-Element Trends and Their Similarities with the Inner Bulge

N. Ryde, G. Nandakumar, M. Schultheis +15

A chemical characterization of the Galactic Center is essential for understanding its formation and structural evolution. Trends of alpha-elements, such as Mg, Si, and Ca, serve as…

Abundance ties: Nephele and the globular cluster population accreted with Cen. Based on APOGEE DR17 and Gaia EDR3

Giulia Pagnini, Paola Di Matteo, Misha Haywood +8

The peculiar Galactic globular cluster Centauri (NGC 5139) has drawn attention for its unique features - such as a high stellar mass and a broad distribution of chemical elemen…

The energy distribution of the first supernovae

I. Koutsouridou, S. Salvadori, Á. Skúladóttir +3

The nature of the first Pop III stars is still a mystery and the energy distribution of the first supernovae is completely unexplored. For the first time we account simultaneously…

On the dearth of C-enhanced metal-poor stars in the Galactic bulge

Giulia Pagnini, Stefania Salvadori, Martina Rossi +3

The chemical fingerprints of the first stars are retained within the photospheres of ancient unevolved metal-poor stars. A significant fraction of these stellar fossils is represen…

The distribution of globular clusters in kinematic spaces does not trace the accretion history of the host galaxy

Giulia Pagnini, Paola Di Matteo, Sergey Khoperskov +4

Reconstructing how all the stellar components of the Galaxy formed and assembled over time, by studying the properties of the stars which make it, is the aim of Galactic archeology…
