oMEGACat V: Helium Enrichment in Centauri as a Function of Metallicity
C. Clontz, A. C. Seth, Z. Wang +12
Constraining the helium enhancement in stars is critical for understanding the formation mechanisms of multiple populations in star clusters. However, measuring helium variations f…
Studying Binary Systems in Omega Centauri with MUSE. I. Detection of Spectroscopic Binaries
F. Wragg, S. Kamann, S. Saracino +6
NGC 5139 ( Cen), is the closest candidate of a Nuclear Star Cluster that has been stripped of its host galaxy in the Milky Way. Despite extensive studies through the last decade…
Towards Understanding the Milky Way's Typicality: Assessing the Chemodynamics of M31's Bulge & Bar, Thick & Thin Discs
Benjamin J. Gibson, Gail Zasowski, Anil Seth +6
We describe a novel framework to model galaxy spectra with two cospatial stellar populations, such as may represent a bulge & bar or thick & thin disc, and apply it to APOGEE spect…
oMEGACat IV: Constraining Ages of Omega Centauri sub-giant branch stars with HST and MUSE
C. Clontz, A. C. Seth, A. Dotter +13
We present age estimates for over 8100 sub-giant branch (SGB) stars in Omega Centauri ( Cen) to study its star formation history. Our large data set, which combines multi-wavele…
oMEGACat III. Multi-band photometry and metallicities reveal spatially well-mixed populations within Centauri's half-light radius
M. S. Nitschai, N. Neumayer, M. Häberle +15
Centauri, the most massive globular cluster in the Milky Way, has long been suspected to be the stripped nucleus of a dwarf galaxy that fell into the Galaxy a long time ago. Th…
Fast-moving stars around an intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri
Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Anil Seth +15
Black holes have been found over a wide range of masses, from stellar remnants with masses of 5-150 solar masses (Msun), to those found at the centers of galaxies with Msu…
oMEGACat II -- Photometry and proper motions for 1.4 million stars in Omega Centauri and its rotation in the plane of the sky
Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Andrea Bellini +15
Omega Centauri ( Cen) is the most massive globular cluster of the Milky Way. It is thought to be the nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy because of its high mass and its complex…
Centauri: A MUSE discovery of a counter-rotating core
Renuka Pechetti, Sebastian Kamann, Davor Krajnovic +7
Centauri is considered the most massive globular cluster of the Milky Way and likely the former nuclear star cluster of a galaxy accreted by the Milky Way. It is speculated to…
