FSR 1776: a new globular cluster in the Galactic bulge?
B. Dias, T. Palma, D. Minniti +6
(ABRIDGED) Recent near-IR surveys have uncovered a plethora of new globular cluster (GC) candidates towards the Milky Way bulge. These new candidates need to be confirmed as real G…
Physical characterization of recently discovered globular clusters in the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy II. Metallicities, ages and luminosities
E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, M. Gómez +1
Globular clusters (GCs) are important tools to rebuild the accretion history of a galaxy. There are newly discovered GCs in the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy, that can be used as…
An Intriguing Globular Cluster in the Galactic Bulge from the VVV Survey
D. Minniti, T. Palma, D. Camargo +7
Recent near-IR Surveys have discovered a number of new bulge globular cluster (GC) candidates that need to be further investigated. Our main objective is to use public data from th…
Eight more low luminosity globular clusters in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
D. Minniti, M. Gómez, J. Alonso-García +2
Context. The Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy is merging with the Milky Way, and the study of its globular clusters (GCs) is important to understand the history and outcome of this o…
CAPOS: The bulge Cluster APOgee Survey I. Overview and initial ASPCAP results
Doug Geisler, Sandro Villanova, Julia E. O'Connell +39
Context. Bulge globular clusters (BGCs) are exceptional tracers of the formation and chemodynamical evolution of this oldest Galactic component. However, until now, observational d…
Data Release 2 of S-PLUS: accurate template-fitting based photometry covering 1000 square degrees in 12 optical filters
F. Almeida-Fernandes, L. Sampedro, F. R. Herpich +26
The Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey (S-PLUS) is an ongoing survey of 9300 deg in the southern sky in a 12-band photometric system. This paper presents the seco…
Discovery of new globular clusters in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
D. Minniti, V. Ripepi, J. G. Fernández-Trincado +14
Context. Globular clusters (GCs) are witnesses of the past accretion events onto the Milky Way (MW). In particular, the GCs of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy are important prob…
Confirmation and physical characterization of the new bulge globular cluster Patchick 99 from the VVV and Gaia surveys
E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, M. Gómez +4
Globular clusters (GCs) are important tools to understand the formation and evolution of the Milky Way (MW). The known MW sample is still incomplete, so the discovery of new GC can…
APOGEE discovery of a chemically atypical star disrupted from NGC 6723 and captured by the Milky Way bulge
José G. Fernández-Trincado, Timothy C. Beers, Dante Minniti +26
The central (`bulge') region of the Milky Way is teeming with a significant fraction of mildly metal-deficient stars with atmospheres that are strongly enriched in cyanogen ($^{12}…
