An optical and HI study of the dwarf Local Group galaxy VV124=UGC4879. A gas-poor dwarf with a stellar disk?
M. Bellazzini, G. Beccari, T. A. Oosterloo +8
We present a detailed study of the dwarf galaxy VV124, recently recognized as a isolated member of the Local Group. We have obtained deep (r=26.5) wide-field g,r photometry of indi…
Spectroscopy Unveils the Complex Nature of Terzan 5
L. Origlia, R. M. Rich, F. R. Ferraro +6
We present the chemical abundance analysis of 33 red giant stars belonging to the complex stellar system Terzan 5. We confirm the discovery of two stellar populations (Ferraro et a…
Progressive star formation in the young galactic super star cluster NGC 3603
Giacomo Beccari, Loredana Spezzi, Guido De Marchi +22
Early release science observations of the cluster NGC3603 with the WFC3 on the refurbished HST allow us to study its recent star formation history. Our analysis focuses on stars wi…
Fast rotating Blue Stragglers in the globular cluster M4
L. Lovisi, A. Mucciarelli, F. R. Ferraro +9
We have used high resolution spectra obtained with the spectrograph FLAMES at the ESO Very Large Telescope to determine the kinematical properties and the abundance patterns of 20…
New density profile and structural parameters of the complex stellar system Terzan 5
B. Lanzoni, F. R. Ferraro, E. Dalessandro +9
Terzan 5 is a globular cluster-like stellar system in the Galactic Bulge which has been recently found to harbor two stellar populations with different iron content and probably di…
The dynamical state of the Globular Cluster M10 (NGC 6254)
G. Beccari, M. Pasquato, G. De Marchi +3
Studying the radial variation of the stellar mass function in globular clusters (GCs) has proved a valuable tool to explore the collisional dynamics leading to mass segregation and…
