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…
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey. III. Astro-photometric catalogs, artificial-star tests, and improved absolute proper motions
M. Libralato, A. Bellini, D. Massari +17
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey (MGCS) has taken one of the last opportunities to complete the census of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) started by past Hubble Space Te…
Low-resolution spectroscopic characterisation of five poorly known Galactic stellar clusters
E. Ceccarelli, M. Bellazzini, D. Massari +4
Stellar clusters preserve crucial information on the formation and evolutionary processes that shaped the Milky Way (MW) as we see it today. However, several MW clusters still lack…
Probing the Milky Way Halo with RR Lyrae Stars from Gaia Data Release 3
T. Muraveva, L. Monti, D. Massari +5
The Milky Way (MW) stellar halo, containing debris from past accretion events, serves as a fossil record of hierarchical mass assembly. Due to their distinct properties, RR Lyrae s…
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…
Hubble Space Telescope proper motions of Large Magellanic Cloud star clusters -- II. Kinematic structure of young and intermediate-age clusters
F. Niederhofer, L. Cullinane, D. Massari +14
In this paper, we explore the kinematic properties of a sample of 19 young (<1 Gyr) and intermediate-age (1-2.5 Gyr) massive star clusters within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).…
A Walk on the Retrograde Side (WRS) project. II. Chemistry to disentangle in situ and accreted components in Thamnos
E. Ceccarelli, D. Massari, M. Palla +3
We present the results of the first systematic and dedicated high-resolution chemical analysis of the Thamnos substructure, a candidate relic of the process of hierarchical merger…
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…
A comparative high-resolution spectroscopic analysis of in situ and accreted globular clusters
E. Ceccarelli, A. Mucciarelli, D. Massari +2
Globular clusters (GCs) are extremely intriguing systems that help in reconstructing the assembly of the Milky Way via the characterisation of their chemo-chrono-dynamical properti…
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…
Metal-poor stars with disc-like orbits. Traces of the Galactic Disc at very early epochs?
M. Bellazzini, D. Massari, E. Ceccarelli +5
We use photometric metallicity estimates for about 700000 stars in the surroundings of the Sun, with very accurate distances and 3-D motions measures from Gaia DR3, to explore the…
