Kinematical and dynamical properties of recently discovered bulge and disc star clusters with WINERED
Ilaria Petralia, Dante Minniti, José G. Fernández-Trincado +8
Context. Galactic globular clusters are a very important tool in explaining the characteristics of the Milky Way. Therefore it is essential to determine the kinematical and dynamic…
A near-infrared stellar atlas of the Galactic plane from the VVVX survey
Javier Alonso-GarcÃa, Maren Hempel, Roberto K. Saito +12
The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey observed the Galactic plane and the outer Galactic bulge in the near-infrared to mitigate the effects of ext…
HST+IGRINS synergy to characterise the newly discovered metal-rich bulge globular cluster Patchick 126
Elisa R. Garro, Davide Massari, José G. Fernández-Trincado +10
We present the first comprehensive spectroscopic and deep photometric study of the globular cluster (GC) candidate Patchick~126. The spectroscopic analysis is based on high-resolut…
Consensus based Algorithm for Nonparametric Detection of Star Clusters (CANDiSC)
C O Obasi, J G Fernandez Trincado, M Gomez +14
Context: The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) and its extension (VVVX) are near-infrared surveys mapping the Galactic bulge and adjacent disk. These data have enabled the di…
The VISCACHA survey XIV. Chemical evolution history of the SMC: The Southern Bridge Clusters
Sasi Saroon, B. Dias, T. Tsujimotto +18
The chemical evolution history of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is complex and is best understood through a comprehensive analysis of star clusters across its various regions. T…
The VISCACHA Survey: XIII. The extended main-sequence turn-off in intermediate-age low-mass clusters
Stefano Souza, Angeles Pérez-Villegas, Bruno Dias +16
The extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO) is a well-known feature observed in young and intermediate-age star clusters, characterized by a significant broadening of the main-sequ…
