EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey
M. G. Guarcello, E. Flaccomio, J. F. Albacete-Colombo +48
Context. With a mass exceeding several 10^4 solar masses and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters represent the most massive star-forming…
Discovery and Timing of Millisecond Pulsars in the Globular Cluster M5 (NGC 5904) with FAST and Arecibo
Lei Zhang, Paulo C. C. Freire, Alessandro Ridolfi +29
We report on a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of the pulsars in the globular cluster (GC) M5, including the discovery of M5G, a new compact non-eclipsing "black widow" pulsar…
A Photometric in-depth look at the core-collapsed globular cluster NGC 6284
Dan Deras, Mario Cadelano, Barbara Lanzoni +4
High-resolution Hubble Space Telescope (\textit{HST}) optical observations have been used to perform the deepest photometric study of the poorly studied Galactic globular cluster N…
JWST uncovers helium and water abundance variations in the bulge globular cluster NGC 6440
Mario Cadelano, Cristina Pallanca, Emanuele Dalessandro +9
We used ultra-deep observations obtained with the NIRCam aboard the James Webb Space Telescope to explore the stellar population of NGC 6440: a typical massive, obscured and contam…
An ongoing tidal capture in the Large Magellanic Cloud: the low-mass star cluster KMK88-10 captured by the massive globular cluster NGC 1835?
Camilla Giusti, Mario Cadelano, Francesco R. Ferraro +6
In the context of a project aimed at characterizing the dynamical evolution of old globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, we have secured deep HST/WFC3 images of the mass…
Fast rotating Blue Stragglers prefer loose clusters
Francesco R. Ferraro, Alessio Mucciarelli, Barbara Lanzoni +9
Blue stragglers are anomalously luminous core hydrogen-burning stars formed through mass-transfer in binary/triple systems and stellar collisions. Their physical and evolutionary p…
First evidence of multi-iron sub-populations in the Bulge Fossil Fragment candidate Liller 1
Chiara Crociati, Elena Valenti, Francesco R. Ferraro +8
In the context of a project aimed at characterizing the properties of the so-called Bulge Fossil Fragments (the fossil remnants of the bulge formation epoch), here we present the f…
The "canonical" White Dwarf Cooling Sequence of M5
Jianxing Chen, Francesco R. Ferraro, Maurizio Salaris +5
Recently, a new class of white dwarfs (dubbed ``slowly cooling WDs'') has been identified in two globular clusters (namely M13 and NGC 6752) showing a horizontal branch (HB) morpho…
Internal kinematics and structure of the bulge globular cluster NGC 6569
Cristina Pallanca, Silvia Leanza, Francesco R. Ferraro +8
In the context of a project aimed at characterizing the properties of star clusters in the Galactic bulge, here we present the determination of the internal kinematics and structur…
Empirical measurement of the dynamical ages of three globular clusters and some considerations on the use of the dynamical clock
Francesco R. Ferraro, Barbara Lanzoni, Enrico Vesperini +3
We have used the ``dynamical clock'' to measure the level of dynamical evolution reached by three Galactic globular clusters (namely, NGC 3201, NGC 6316 and NGC 6440). This is an e…
A young white dwarf orbiting PSR J1835-3259B in the bulge globular cluster NGC 6652
J. Chen, M. Cadelano, C. Pallanca +8
We report on the discovery of the companion star to the millisecond pulsar PSR J1835-3259B in the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6652. Taking advantage of deep photometric archival…
