Intra-cluster patches of baryons in the core of the Fornax cluster
E. Iodice, M. Spavone, M. Cantiello +12
In the core of the Fornax cluster, on the West side of NGC1399, we have detected a previously unknown region of intra-cluster light (ICL). It is made up by several faint ($μ_r \sim…
A VST and VISTA study of globular clusters in NGC253
Michele Cantiello, Aniello Grado, Marina Rejkuba +5
Aims. We analyze the properties of the sources in the NGC253 to define an up to date catalog of GC candidates in the galaxy. Methods. Our analysis is based on the science verificat…
VEGAS-SSS II: Comparing the globular cluster systems in NGC3115 and NGC1399 using VEGAS and FDS survey data
Michele Cantiello, Raffaele D'Abrusco, Marilena Spavone +15
We analyze the globular cluster (GC) systems in two very different galaxies, N3115 and N1399. With the papers of this series, we aim at highlighting common and different properties…
GRAWITA: VLT Survey Telescope observations of the gravitational wave sources GW150914 and GW151226
E. Brocato, M. Branchesi, E. Cappellaro +49
We report the results of deep optical follow-up surveys of the first two gravitational-wave sources, GW150914 and GW151226, done by the GRAvitational Wave Inaf TeAm Collaboration (…
Spectroscopic identification of r-process nucleosynthesis in a double neutron star merger
E. Pian, P. D'Avanzo, S. Benetti +81
The merger of two neutron stars is predicted to give rise to three major detectable phenomena: a short burst of gamma-rays, a gravitational wave signal, and a transient optical/nea…
The STREGA survey. II. Globular Cluster Palomar 12
I. Musella, M. Di Criscienzo, M. Marconi +17
In the framework of the STREGA (STRucture and Evolution of the GAlaxy) survey, two fields around the globular cluster Pal 12 were observed with the aim of detecting the possible pr…
