The youngest white dwarf companion to a millisecond pulsar: Insights from NGC 362D

Greta Ettorre, Emanuele Dalessandro, Mario Cadelano +7

We report on the identification of the optical counterpart to the recently discovered millisecond pulsar (MSP) NGC362D in the Galactic globular cluster NGC362 based on deep, multi-…

Noble gases Neon and argon: a role for the chemical patterns of multiple populations in globular clusters?

P. Ventura, F. D'Antona, M. Tailo +3

We focus on the sodium destruction in models reaching the high hot bottom burning temperatures needed to efficiently cycle oxygen to nitrogen in AGB models at the nominal [Fe/H] of…

The stellar to sub-stellar masses transition in 47 Tuc

C. Ventura, M. Tailo, P. Ventura +4

Context: The study of the Globular Cluster 47 Tuc offers the opportunity to shed new light on the debated issue on the presence of multiple populations in Globular Clusters, as rec…

Dating N loud AGNs at high redshift: GS3073 as a snapshot of wCen like evolution of a nuclear star cluster

F. D'Antona, P. Ventura, A. F. Marino +8

In this paper we address two major questions raised by recent James Webb Space Telescope observations of the young Universe, namely: 1) what are the seed initial masses, and how ra…

Hunting for UVdim stars in Galactic Open clusters. Clues from ultraviolet photometry

G. Cordoni, A. P. Milone, L. Casagrande +7

Split main-sequences (MSs) and extended main-sequence turn-offs (eMSTOs) have been observed in nearly all Magellanic Clouds clusters younger than 2 Gyr. More recently, Hubble Space…

A JWST project on 47 Tucanae. Binaries among multiple populations

A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino, M. Bernizzoni +25

Almost all globular clusters (GCs) contain multiple populations consisting of stars with varying helium and light-element abundances. These populations include first-population sta…
