Double Blue Straggler sequences in GCs: the case of NGC 362
E. Dalessandro, F. R. Ferraro, D. Massari +8
We used high-quality images acquired with the WFC3 on board the HST to probe the blue straggler star (BSS) population of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 362. We have found two di…
Another brick in understanding chemical and kinematical properties of BSSs: NGC 6752
L. Lovisi, A. Mucciarelli, E. Dalessandro +2
We used high-resolution spectra acquired with the multifiber facility FLAMES at the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory to investigate the chemical and kinema…
FLAMES and XSHOOTER spectroscopy along the two BSS sequences of M30
L. Lovisi, A. Mucciarelli, B. Lanzoni +3
We present spectroscopic observations acquired with FLAMES and XSHOOTER at the Very Large Telescope for a sample of 15 Blue Straggler Stars (BSSs) in the globular cluster (GC) M30.…
GALA: an automatic tool for the abundance analysis of stellar spectra
A. Mucciarelli, E. Pancino, L. Lovisi +2
GALA is a freely distributed Fortran code to derive automatically the atmospheric parameters (temperature, gravity, microturbulent velocity and overall metallicity) and abundances…
Blue straggler stars in Globular Clusters: chemical and kinematical properties
Loredana Lovisi, Alessio Mucciarelli, Barbara Lanzoni +2
Blue Straggler stars are present in all the properly observed Globular Clusters. They mimic a rejuvenated stellar population and their existence has been a puzzle for many years. W…
