No country for old stars -Spectroscopic confirmation of the first intermediate-age RR Lyrae in the open cluster Trumpler 5
Valentina D'Orazi, Cecilia Mateu, Giuliano Iorio +13
RR Lyrae stars are widely considered tracers of ancient (greater than 10 Gyr), metal-poor stellar populations. However, recent kinematic and photometric studies suggest the existen…

Silvia Tosi, Ester Marini, Felice Cusano +3
The Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) is a world-leading astronomical observatory, where the italian partnership has played an important role in increasing the telescope's productivi…
Planetary Nebulae of the Large Magellanic Cloud II: the connection with the progenitors' properties
P. Ventura, S. Tosi, D. A. GarcÃa-Hernández +6
The study of planetary nebulae (PNe) offers the opportunity of evaluating the efficiency of the dust production mechanism during the very late asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phases.…
Planetary Nebulae of the Large Magellanic Cloud I: A multiwavelength analysis
Silvia Tosi, Flavia Dell'Agli, Devika Kamath +5
Planetary nebulae (PNe) have three main components: a central star (CS), ionised gas and dust in the nebula. Each of them contains critical chemical fingerprints of their evolution…
