EWOCS-VIII: Internal kinematics and expansion of Westerlund 1 from VVVX proper motions
C. Ordenes-Huanca, A. Bayo, M. Guarcello +12
Westerlund 1 (Wd1) is the most massive young star cluster known in the Milky Way and a key laboratory for studying the early dynamical evolution of massive clusters. Owing to its h…
SHARP -- A spectrograph proposal to fully exploit ELT capabilities and look beyond JWST
P. Saracco, P. Conconi, C. Arcidiacono +47
The Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), with their large apertures and cutting-edge Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) systems, promise to deliver data that is both sharper and…
Using a neural network approach and starspots dependent models to predict effective temperatures and ages of young stars
Marco Tarantino, Loredana Prisinzano, Nicoletta D Angelo +2
This study presents a statistical approach to accurately predict the effective temperatures of pre-main sequence stars, which are necessary for determining stellar ages using the i…
EWOCS-IV: 1Ms ACIS Chandra observation of the supergiant B[e] star Wd1-9
K. Anastasopoulou, M. G. Guarcello, J. J. Drake +21
Supergiant B[e] (sgB[e]) stars are exceptionally rare objects, with only a handful of confirmed examples in the Milky Way. The evolutionary pathways leading to the sgB[e] phase rem…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: Projected Rotational Velocities of B stars in the Carina Nebula
W. Santos, S. Daflon, J. V. Sales Silva +19
The Carina Nebula is an active star-forming region with several open clusters rich in massive OB stars, thus making it an optimal target for studying stellar properties such as rot…
EWOCS-III: JWST observations of the supermassive star cluster Westerlund 1
M. G. Guarcello, V. Almendros-Abad, J. B. Lovell +29
The typically large distances, extinction, and crowding of Galactic supermassive star clusters have so far hampered the identification of their very low mass members, required to e…
