Small Magellanic Cloud field stars meddling in star cluster age estimates
Andrés E. Piatti
I revisited the age of the Small Magellanic Cloud cluster HW 42, whose previous estimates differ in more than 6 Gyr, thus challenging the most updated knowledge of the SMC star for…
Assessing the physical reality of Milky Way open cluster candidates
A. E. Piatti, D. M. F. Illesca, A. A. Massara +4
We report results on the analysis of eleven new Milky Way open cluster candidates, recently discovered from the detection of stellar overdensities in the Vector Point diagram, by e…
First evidence of a stripped star cluster from the Small Magellanic Cloud
Andrés E. Piatti, Scott Lucchini
We present results on the recently discovered stellar system YMCA-1, for which physical nature and belonging to any of the Magellanic System galaxies have been irresolutely analyze…
Metallicities and ages for star clusters and their surrounding fields in the Large Magellanic Cloud
W. Narloch, G. Pietrzyński, W. Gieren +15
We study 147 star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in order to determine their mean metallicities and ages, as well as the mean metallicities of 80 surrounding fields.…
On the physical size of the Milky Way globular cluster NGC 7089 (M 2)
Andrés E. Piatti
We study the outer regions of the Milky Way globular cluster NGC 7089 based on new Dark Energy Camera (DECam) observations. The resulting background cleaned stellar density profile…
A genuine Large Magellanic Cloud age gap star cluster
Andrés E. Piatti
We confirm the existence of a second Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) star cluster, KMHK 1592, with an age that falls in the middle of the so-called LMC star cluster age gap, a long pe…
