Dynamical age differences among coeval star clusters as revealed by blue stragglers

F. R. Ferraro, B. Lanzoni, E. Dalessandro +11

Globular star clusters that formed at the same cosmic time may have evolved rather differently from a dynamical point of view (because that evolution depends on the internal enviro…

The Variable Star Population of the Globular Cluster B514 in the Andromeda Galaxy

Gisella Clementini, Rodrigo Contreras, Luciana Federici +8

A rich harvest of RR Lyrae stars has been identified for the first time in B514, a metal-poor ([Fe/H] = 1.95 +/- 0.10 dex) globular cluster of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), based on…

Detection of new variable stars in the SMC cluster NGC 121

G. Fiorentino, R. Contreras, G. Clementini +5

New candidate variable stars have been identified in the Small Magellanic Cloud cluster NGC121, by applying both the image subtraction technique (ISIS, Alard 2000) and the Welch &…

I Zw 18 revisited with HST/ACS and Cepheids: New Distance and Age

A. Aloisi, G. Clementini, M. Tosi +9

We present new V and I-band HST/ACS photometry of I Zw 18, the most metal-poor blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy in the nearby universe. It has been argued in the past that I Zw 18 i…

Very metal poor Classical Cepheids: variables in IZw18

G. Fiorentino, M. Marconi, G. Clementini +5

In the framework of an ongoing ACS@HST project (HST program #10586, PI: Aloisi) we have obtained deep multi-color imaging of the very metal-poor Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy IZw18. Th…

A New Deep HST/ACS CMD of I Zw 18: Evidence for Red Giant Branch Stars

A. Aloisi, F. Annibali, J. Mack +8

We present results from new deep HST/ACS photometry of I Zw 18, the most metal-poor blue compact dwarf galaxy in the nearby universe. It has been previously argued that this is a v…
