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…
HST+IGRINS synergy to characterise the newly discovered metal-rich bulge globular cluster Patchick 126
Elisa R. Garro, Davide Massari, José G. Fernández-Trincado +10
We present the first comprehensive spectroscopic and deep photometric study of the globular cluster (GC) candidate Patchick~126. The spectroscopic analysis is based on high-resolut…
Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA). II. The age-metallicity relation of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus globular clusters
Fernando Aguado-Agelet, Davide Massari, Matteo Monelli +8
We present the age determination of 13 globular clusters dynamically associated with the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) merger event, as part of the CARMA project effort to trace the…
Chronology of our Galaxy from Gaia colour-magnitude diagram fitting (ChronoGal) -- III. Age and metallicity distribution of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus stars near the Sun
Yllari K. González-Koda, Tomás Ruiz-Lara, Carme Gallart +14
Context. Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus is considered the last major merger that contributed to the formation of the Milky Way. Its remnants dominate the nearby accreted stellar halo of th…
