oMEGACat V: Helium Enrichment in Centauri as a Function of Metallicity

C. Clontz, A. C. Seth, Z. Wang +12

Constraining the helium enhancement in stars is critical for understanding the formation mechanisms of multiple populations in star clusters. However, measuring helium variations f…

oMEGACat IV: Constraining Ages of Omega Centauri sub-giant branch stars with HST and MUSE

C. Clontz, A. C. Seth, A. Dotter +13

We present age estimates for over 8100 sub-giant branch (SGB) stars in Omega Centauri ( Cen) to study its star formation history. Our large data set, which combines multi-wavele…

oMEGACat III. Multi-band photometry and metallicities reveal spatially well-mixed populations within Centauri's half-light radius

M. S. Nitschai, N. Neumayer, M. Häberle +15

Centauri, the most massive globular cluster in the Milky Way, has long been suspected to be the stripped nucleus of a dwarf galaxy that fell into the Galaxy a long time ago. Th…

Fast-moving stars around an intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri

Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Anil Seth +15

Black holes have been found over a wide range of masses, from stellar remnants with masses of 5-150 solar masses (Msun), to those found at the centers of galaxies with Msu…

oMEGACat II -- Photometry and proper motions for 1.4 million stars in Omega Centauri and its rotation in the plane of the sky

Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Andrea Bellini +15

Omega Centauri ( Cen) is the most massive globular cluster of the Milky Way. It is thought to be the nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy because of its high mass and its complex…

Centauri: A MUSE discovery of a counter-rotating core

Renuka Pechetti, Sebastian Kamann, Davor Krajnovic +7

Centauri is considered the most massive globular cluster of the Milky Way and likely the former nuclear star cluster of a galaxy accreted by the Milky Way. It is speculated to…

PHANGS-JWST: Data Processing Pipeline and First Full Public Data Release

Thomas G. Williams, Janice C. Lee, Kirsten L. Larson +55

The exquisite angular resolution and sensitivity of JWST is opening a new window for our understanding of the Universe. In nearby galaxies, JWST observations are revolutionizing ou…
