Probing the Galactic Bulge with deep Adaptive Optics imaging: the age of NGC 6440
L. Origlia, S. Lena, E. Diolaiti +4
We present first results of a pilot project aimed at exploiting the potentiality of ground based adaptive optics imaging in the near infrared to determine the age of stellar cluste…
The LBT Panoramic View on the Recent Star-Formation Activity in IC2574
A. Pasquali, A. Leroy, H. -W. Rix +13
We present deep imaging of the star-forming dwarf galaxy IC2574 in the M81 group taken with the Large Binocular Telescope in order to study in detail the recent star-formation hist…
A puzzling millisecond pulsar companion in NGC 6266
G. Cocozza, F. R. Ferraro, A. Possenti +5
We report on the optical identification of the companion to the eclipsing millisecond pulsar PSR J17013006B in the globular cluster NGC 6266. A relatively bright star with an an…
Deep infrared observations of the puzzling central X-ray source in RCW103
A. De Luca, R. P. Mignani, S. Zaggia +4
1E 161348-5055 (1E 1613) is a point-like, soft X-ray source originally identified as a radio-quiet, isolated neutron star, shining at the center of the 2000 yr old supernova remnan…
The Blue Straggler population in the globular cluster M53 (NGC5024): a combined HST, LBT, CFHT study
G. Beccari, B. Lanzoni, F. R. Ferraro +24
We used a proper combination of multiband high-resolution and wide field multi-wavelength observations collected at three different telescopes (HST, LBT and CFHT) to probe Blue Str…
A Correlation between Blue Straggler and Binary Fractions in the core of Galactic Globular Clusters
A. Sollima, B. Lanzoni, G. Beccari +2
Context. Blue Stragglers Stars (BSSs) are thought to form in globular clusters by two main formation channels: i) mergers induced by stellar collisions and ii) coalescence or mass-…
