Star density profiles of six old star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
B. Lanzoni, F. R. Ferraro, E. Dalessandro +7
We used resolved star counts from Hubble Space Telescope images to determine the center of gravity and the projected density profiles of 6 old globular clusters in the Large Magell…
Size diversity of old Large Magellanic Cloud clusters as determined by internal dynamical evolution
F. R. Ferraro, B. Lanzoni, E. Dalessandro +6
The distribution of size as a function of age observed for star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is very puzzling: young clusters are all compact, while the oldest syst…
High-resolution extinction map in the direction of the bulge globular cluster NGC 6440
Cristina Pallanca, Francesco R. Ferraro, Barbara Lanzoni +3
We used optical images acquired with the UVIS channel of the Wide Field Camera 3 on board of the Hubble Space Telescope to construct the first high-resolution extinction map in the…
Spectral Energy Distribution of Blue Stragglers in the core of 47 Tucanae
S. Raso, C. Pallanca, F. R. Ferraro +8
We have constructed the Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) of a sample of Blue Straggler Stars (BSSs) in the core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, taking advantage of the larg…
An extremely low-mass He white dwarf orbiting the millisecond pulsar J1342+2822B in the globular cluster M3
M. Cadelano, F. R. Ferraro, A. G. Istrate +3
We report on the discovery of the companion star to the millisecond pulsar J1342+2822B in the globular cluster M3. We exploited a combination of near-ultraviolet and optical observ…
