Digging for relics of the past: the ancient and obscured bulge globular cluster NGC6256
Mario Cadelano, Sara Saracino, Emanuele Dalessandro +5
We used a set of moderately-deep and high-resolution optical observations obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope to investigate the properties of the stellar population in the he…
The ESO Multi-Instrument Kinematic Survey (MIKiS) of Galactic Globular Clusters: solid body rotation and anomalous velocity dispersion profile in NGC 5986
B. Lanzoni, F. R. Ferraro, A. Mucciarelli +11
As part of the ESO-VLT Multi-Instrument Kinematic Survey (MIKiS) of Galactic globular clusters, we present a detailed investigation of the internal kinematics of NGC 5986. The anal…
Lost and found: evidence of Second Generation stars along the Asymptotic Giant Branch of the globular cluster NGC 6752
E. Lapenna, C. Lardo, A. Mucciarelli +7
We derived chemical abundances for C, N, O, Na, Mg and Al in 20 asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the globular cluster NGC 6752. All these elements (but Mg) show intrinsic sta…
Terzan 5: a pristine fragment of the Galactic Bulge?
Davide Massari, F. R. Ferraro, A. Mucciarelli +3
Terzan 5 is a stellar system located in the inner Bulge of the Galaxy and has been historically catalogued as a globular cluster. However, recent photometric (Ferraro et al. 2009)…
Density and kinematic cusps in M54 at the heart of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy: evidence for a 10^4 M_sun Black Hole?
R. Ibata, M. Bellazzini, S. C. Chapman +8
We report the detection of a stellar density cusp and a velocity dispersion increase in the center of the globular cluster M54, located at the center of the Sagittarius dwarf galax…
Mass and Environment Drive the Evolution of Early-Type Galaxies
Sperello di Serego Alighieri, Barbara Lanzoni
New information has recently become available on the fundamental plane for various samples of early-type galaxies with redshift up to 1.3, both in clusters and in the field. This i…
