Star-Cluster Astrometry with Ground-Based Wide Field Imagers

L. R. Bedin, J. Anderson, G. Piotto +2

We show the astrometric potential of the Wide Field Imager at the focus of the MPI-ESO 2.2m Telescope. Currently, we are able to measure the position of a well-exposed star with a…

The double main sequence of Omega Centauri

L. R. Bedin, G. Piotto, J. Anderson +4

Recent, high precision photometry of Omega Centauri, the biggest Galactic globular cluster, has been obtained with Hubble Space Telescope. The color magnitude diagram reveals an un…

The Red Giant Branch Bump

M. Riello, G. Piotto, A. Recio-Blanco +2

We present a comparison between theoretical models and the observed magnitude difference between the horizontal branch and the red giant branch bump for a sample of 53 clusters. We…

Rotation of Hot Horizontal Branch Stars in Galactic Globular Clusters

A. Recio-Blanco, G. Piotto, A. Aparicio +1

We present high resolution UVES+VLT spectroscopic observations of 61 stars in the extended blue horizontal branches of the Galactic globular clusters NGC 1904 (M79), NGC 2808, NGC…

Hot Stellar Populations in Globular Clusters: a Photometrist's View

G. Piotto

We briefly review the recent results on hot horizontal-branch stars in globular clusters. Since the first Ivanfest, in 1992, there have been a number of new observational lines of…

Statistical Study of the Blue Straggler Properties in Galactic Globular Clusters

Francesca De Angeli, Giampaolo Piotto

In this paper we report on the most significant results from a statistical analysis of the main properties of globular cluster blue straggler stars (BSS) extracted from the HST sna…
