Fast rotating Blue Straggler Stars in the Globular Cluster NGC3201
Alex Billi, Francesco R. Ferraro, Alessio Mucciarelli +7
We used high resolution spectra acquired at the Magellan Telescope to measure radial and rotational velocities of approximately 200 stars in the Galactic globular cluster NGC 3201.…
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…
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…
