Spinning like a Blue Straggler: the population of fast rotating Blue Straggler stars in Omega Centauri
A. Mucciarelli, L. Lovisi, F. R. Ferraro +3
By using high-resolution spectra acquired with FLAMES-GIRAFFE at the ESO/VLT, we measured radial and rotational velocities for 110 Blue Straggler stars (BSSs) in Omega Centauri, th…
Ceci n'est pas a globular cluster: the metallicity distribution of the stellar system Terzan 5
Davide Massari, A. Mucciarelli, F. R. Ferraro +9
We present new determinations of the iron abundance for 220 stars belonging to the stellar system Terzan 5 in the Galactic bulge. The spectra have been acquired with FLAMES at the…
Chemical and kinematical properties of Galactic bulge stars surrounding the stellar system Terzan 5
Davide Massari, A. Mucciarelli, F. R. Ferraro +8
As part of a study aimed at determining the kinematical and chemical properties of Terzan 5, we present the first characterization of the bulge stars surrounding this puzzling stel…
Blue Straggler Stars in Globular Clusters: a powerful tool to probe the internal dynamical evolution of stellar systems
Francesco R. Ferraro, Barbara Lanzoni, Emanuele Dalessandro +2
This chapter presents an overview of the main observational results obtained to date about Blue Straggler Stars (BSSs) in Galactic Globular Clusters (GCs). The BSS specific frequen…
Cosmic-Lab: Chemical and kinematical properties of Blue Straggler stars in Galactic Globular Clusters
L. Lovisi
Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are brighter and bluer than the main-sequence (MS) turnoff and more massive than MS stars.Two scenarios for their formation have been proposed: collisio…
The helium abundance in the metal-poor globular clusters M30 and NGC6397
A. Mucciarelli, L. Lovisi, B. Lanzoni +1
We present the helium abundance of the two metal-poor clusters M30 and NGC6397. Helium estimates have been obtained by using the high-resolution spectrograph FLAMES at the ESO Very…
Chemical abundances of blue straggler stars in Galactic Globular Clusters
L. Lovisi
By using the high resolution spectrograph FLAMES@VLT we performed the first systematic campaign devoted to measure chemical abundances of blue straggler stars (BSSs). These stars,…
