A unique model for the variety of multiple populations formation(s) in globular clusters: a temporal sequence
F. D'Antona, E. Vesperini, A. D'Ercole +4
We explain the multiple populations recently found in the 'prototype' Globular Cluster (GC) NGC 2808 in the framework of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) scenario. The chemistry o…
The Hubble Space Telescope UV Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters. V. Constraints on Formation Scenarios
A. Renzini, F. D'Antona, S. Cassisi +16
We build on the evidence provided by our Legacy Survey of Galactic globular clusters (GC) to submit to a crucial test four scenarios currently entertained for the formation of mult…
The oxygen vs. sodium (anti)correlation(s) in omega Cen
F. D'Antona, A. D'Ercole, A. F. Marino +3
Recent exam of large samples of omega Cen giants shows that it shares with mono-metallic globular clusters the presence of the sodium versus oxygen anticorrelation, within each sub…
Lithium factories in the Galaxy: novae and AGB stars
F. D'Antona, P. Ventura
We review the state of the art in modelling lithium production, through the Cameron-Fowler mechanism, in two stellar sites: during nova explosions and in the envelopes of massive a…
The influence of the C+N+O abundances on the determination of the relative ages of Globular Clusters: the case of NGC 1851 and NGC 6121 (M4)
F. D'Antona, P. B. Stetson, P. Ventura +3
The color magnitude diagram (CMD) of NGC 1851 presents two subgiant branches (SGB), probably due the presence of two populations differing in total CNO content. We test the idea th…
