Euclid: Data Release 1 (DR1) -- Fornax-7, an ultra-faint companion to the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy? A remote star cluster or dwarf satellite of the Fornax dSph

T. Saifollahi, A. Lançon, A. M. N. Ferguson +165

We report the discovery of an ultra-faint stellar system in the vicinity of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy in Euclid DR1. This system, which we designate Fornax-7, is lo…

Euclid: The convective-transition gap of 47 Tuc

M. Libralato, M. Griggio, R. Gerasimov +140

We report the first detection of the `convective-transition gap' (also known as `M-dwarf gap') in the globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104) thanks to Euclid data. This feature, linked…

Carbon measurements in two ultra-faint dwarf galaxies: Grus II and Tucana IV

Valentina Verdiani, Ása Skúladóttir, Romain Lucchesi +7

The ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are some of the oldest and most metal-poor environments in the Local Group. In particular, they are predicted to host the first stars (only H…

Evidence of a massive accretion event 1.8 billion years before the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger

Davide Massari, Chiara Zerbinati, Cristiano Fanelli +15

The merger history of the Galaxy has been traced back firmly to redshift 2 (10 Billion years ago). While evidence for the existence of at least one more significant merger before t…

Euclid: Early Release Observations -- The extended stellar component of the IC10 dwarf galaxy

F. Annibali, A. M. N. Ferguson, P. M. Sanchez-Alarcon +175

We present a detailed analysis of the old, extended stellar component of the Local Group dwarf galaxy IC 10 using deep resolved-star photometry in the VIS and NISP bands of the Euc…

Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Resolved Stellar Populations Studies in M31 and its Satellites

C. Gallart, E. Fernández-Alvar, A. B. A. Queiroz +48

A 30 m class optical/near-IR telescope in the Northern Hemisphere, equipped for diffraction-limited imaging and high-resolution, multi-object spectroscopy of faint stars, would ena…
