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…
The earliest phases of CNO enrichment in galaxies
Martina Rossi, Donatella Romano, Alessio Mucciarelli +3
Context. The recent detection of nitrogen-enhanced, metal-poor galaxies at high redshift by the James Webb Space Telescope has sparked renewed interest in exploring the chemical ev…
