Hide and seek between Andromeda's halo, disk, and giant stream

Gisella Clementini, Rodrigo Contreras Ramos, Luciana Federici +17

Photometry in B, V (down to V ~ 26 mag) is presented for two 23' x 23' fields of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) that were observed with the blue channel camera of the Large Binocular T…

Fast rotating Blue Stragglers in the globular cluster M4

L. Lovisi, A. Mucciarelli, F. R. Ferraro +9

We have used high resolution spectra obtained with the spectrograph FLAMES at the ESO Very Large Telescope to determine the kinematical properties and the abundance patterns of 20…

Dust is forming along the red giant branch of 47 TUC

Livia Origlia, Robert T. Rood, Sara Fabbri +4

We present additional evidence that dust is really forming along the red giant branch (RGB) of 47 Tuc at luminosities ranging from above the horizontal branch to the RGB-tip (Origl…

Two distinct sequences of blue straggler stars in the globular cluster M30

F. R. Ferraro, G. Beccari, E. Dalessandro +7

Stars in globular clusters are generally believed to have all formed at the same time, early in the Galaxy's history. 'Blue stragglers' are stars massive enough that they should ha…

The Variable Star Population of the Globular Cluster B514 in the Andromeda Galaxy

Gisella Clementini, Rodrigo Contreras, Luciana Federici +8

A rich harvest of RR Lyrae stars has been identified for the first time in B514, a metal-poor ([Fe/H] = 1.95 +/- 0.10 dex) globular cluster of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), based on…

Deep HST-WFPC2 photometry of NGC 288. I. Binary Systems and Blue Stragglers

M. Bellazzini, F. Fusi Pecci, M. Messineo +2

We present the first results of a deep WFPC2 photometric survey of the loose galactic globular cluster NGC 288. The fraction of binary systems is estimated from the color distribut…
