Blue Straggler Stars in Galactic Open Clusters and the effect of field star contamination
G. Carraro, R. A. Vazquez, A. Moitinho
We investigate the distribution of Blue Straggler stars in the field of three open star clusters. The main purpose is to highlight the crucial role played by general Galactic disk…
Stellar populations in the Canis Major over-density
Giovanni Carraro, Andre' Moitinho, Ruben A. Vazquez
We performed a photometric multicolor survey of the core of the Canis Major over-density at l 244, -8.0, reaching V = 22 and covering 0.3 x 1 degree. The main aim is to unravel the…
Spiral structure in the outer Galactic disk. I. The Third Galactic Quadrant
Ruben A. Vazquez, Jorge May, Giovanni Carraro +3
We combine optical and radio observations to trace the spiral structure in the Third Quadrant of the Milky Way. The optical observations consist of a large sample of young open clu…
Photometry of a Galactic field at l = 232, b = -6. The old open cluster Auner 1, the Norma-Cygnus spiral arm and the signature of the warped Galactic Thick Disk
Giovanni Carraro, Andre' Moitinho, Manuela Zoccali +2
We perform a detailed photometric study of the stellar populations in a Galactic Field at l = 232, b = -6 in the Canis Major (CMa) constellation. We present the first U,B,V,I photo…
Spiral structure of the Third Galactic Quadrant and the solution to the Canis Major debate
A. Moitinho, R. A. Vazquez, G. Carraro +3
With the discovery of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Ibata et al. 1994), a galaxy caught in the process of merging with the Milky Way, the hunt for other such accretion events h…
Open clusters in the Third Galactic Quadrant. II. The intermediate age open clusters NGC 2425 and NGC 2635
A. Moitinho, G. Carraro, G. Baume +1
We analyse CCD broad band (UBV(RI)c) photometric data obtained in the fields of the poorly studied open clusters NGC 2425 and NGC 2635. Both clusters are found to be of intermediat…
