The Hubble Missing Globular Clusters Survey IV. Ultra-faint compact satellites of the Milky Way. The case of Koposov 2
M. Bellazzini, R. Pascale, E. Dodd +16
In the last decades a number of extremely faint and compact Galactic satellites (Ultra Faint Compact Satellites; UFCS) have been discovered by large panoramic surveys. Their nature…
The chemical DNA of the Magellanic Clouds VI. Origin and evolution of neutron-capture elements in the SMC
Marco Palla, Alessio Mucciarelli, Donatella Romano +2
Context. In the context of galactic archaeology, the study of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is of crucial importance, as it represents a unique opportunity to study a nearby mas…
Low-resolution spectroscopic characterisation of five poorly known Galactic stellar clusters
E. Ceccarelli, M. Bellazzini, D. Massari +4
Stellar clusters preserve crucial information on the formation and evolutionary processes that shaped the Milky Way (MW) as we see it today. However, several MW clusters still lack…
A Young Cluster With an Extended Main Sequence Turnoff: Confirmation of a Prediction of the Stellar Rotation Scenario
N. Bastian, F. Niederhofer, V. Kozhurina-Platais +13
We present Hubble Space Telescope photometry of NGC1850, a ~100 Myr, ~10^5 Msun cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The colour magnitude diagram clearly shows the presence of an…
