Sizing the star cluster population of the Large Magellanic Cloud

Andrés E. Piatti

The number of star clusters that populate the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) at deprojected distances < 4 deg has been recently found to be nearly double the known size of the system…

On the evolution of structural parameters of old globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Andrès E. Piatti

We present result from DECam SDSS i PSF photometry of the radial stellar density profiles of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) old globular clusters (GCs) NGC1841, 2210, Hodge11 and…

Stellar density distribution along the minor axis of the Large Magellanic Cloud

Andrés E. Piatti

We studied the spatial distribution of young and old stellar populations along the western half part of the minor axis of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using Washington MT1 phot…

The VMC Survey XXVII. Young Stellar Structures in the LMCs Bar Star-Forming Complex

Ning-Chen Sun, Richard de Grijs, Smitha Subramanian +11

Star formation is a hierarchical process, forming young stellar structures of star clusters, associations, and complexes over a wide scale range. The star-forming complex in the ba…

On the extended stellar structure around NGC 288

Andrés E. Piatti

We report on observational evidence of an extra-tidal clumpy structure around NGC 288 from an homogeneous coverage of a large area with the Pan-STARRS PS1 database. The extra-tidal…

Star cluster formation history along the minor axis of the Large Magellanic Cloud

Andrés E. Piatti, Andrew A. Cole, Bryn Emptage

We analysed Washington photometry of star clusters located along the minor axis of the LMC, from the LMC optical centre up to 39 degrees outwards to the North-West.…

Detection of a diffuse extended halo-like structure around 47 Tuc

Andrés E. Piatti

We constructed for the first time a stellar density profile of 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc) out of 5.5 times its tidal radius () using high-quality deep photometry. After c…

The VMC Survey. XXV. The 3D structure of the Small Magellanic Cloud from Classical Cepheids

Vincenzo Ripepi, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, Maria Ida Moretti +13

The "VISTA near-infrared YJKs survey of the Magellanic System" (VMC) is collecting deep Ks-band time-series photometry of pulsating stars hosted by the two Magellanic Clouds and th…

The real population of star clusters in the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud

Andrés E. Piatti

We report results on star clusters located in the South-Eastern half of the Large Magellanic (LMC) bar from Washington photometry. Using appropriate kernel density estimator…

Observational hints of a real age spread in the young LMC star cluster NGC 1971

Andrés E. Piatti, Andrew Cole

We report the serendipitous young Large Magellanic Cloud cluster, NGC 1971, exhibits an extended main-sequence turnoff (eMSTO) possibly originated by mostly a real age spread. We u…

Representative galaxy age-metallicity relationships

Andrés E. Piatti, Antonio Aparicio, Sebastián L. Hidalgo

The ongoing surveys of galaxies and those for the next generation of telescopes will demand the execution of high-CPU consuming machine codes for recovering detailed star formation…

Candidate star clusters toward the inner Milky Way discovered on deep-stacked Ks-band images from the VVV Survey

Valentin D. Ivanov, Andrés E. Piatti, Juan-Carlos Beamín +5

The census of star clusters in the inner Milky Way is incomplete because of extinction and crowding. We embarked on a program to expand the star cluster list in the direction of th…

Astrophysical properties of star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds homogeneously estimated by

Gabriel I. Perren, Andrés E. Piatti, Rubén A. Vázquez

Aims. To produce an homogeneous catalog of astrophysical parameters of 239 resolved star clusters located in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, observed in the Washington photo…

The VMC Survey - XXIV. Signatures of tidally stripped stellar populations from the inner Small Magellanic Cloud

Smitha Subramanian, Stefano Rubele, Ning-Chen Sun +12

We study the luminosity function of intermediate-age red-clump stars using deep, near-infrared photometric data covering 20 deg located throughout the central part of th…

On the physical reality of overlooked open clusters

Andrés E. Piatti

We present UBVRI and CT1T2 photometry for fifteen catalogued open clusters of relative high brightness and compact appearance. From these unprecedented photometric data sets, cover…
