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…

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…

Stellar rotation in the intermediate-age massive cluster NGC 1783: clues on the nature of UV-dim stars

Silvia Leanza, Emanuele Dalessandro, Mario Cadelano +9

Over the past decade, stellar rotation has emerged as a key factor in shaping the morphology of color-magnitude diagrams of young and intermediate-age star clusters. In this study,…

On the manifest link between Terzan 5 and the Galactic bulge

L. Origlia, F. R. Ferraro, C. Fanelli +4

We address the chemical link between Terzan 5 (hereafter Ter5) and the Bulge, as probed by the observed distributions of [/Fe] abundance ratios with varying [Fe/H] and by suitab…
