Fast Rotating Blue Straggler Stars in the globular cluster NGC 1851
Alex Billi, Lorenzo Monaco, Francesco R. Ferraro +4
In this work we study the rotational velocities of a sample of blue straggler stars (BSSs) and reference stars belonging to the Galactic globular cluster NGC 1851, using high-resol…
A candidate to the long sought optical counterpart to the Rapid Burster in the bulge fossil fragment Liller 1
Cristina Pallanca, Francesco R. Ferraro, Barbara Lanzoni +6
We report on the possible identification of the optical counterpart of the Rapid Burster MXB 1730-335 in the stellar system Liller 1. The identification was performed by taking adv…
Detection of a white dwarf orbiting a Carbon-Oxygen depleted blue straggler in 47 Tucanae
Elisabetta Reggiani, Mario Cadelano, Barbara Lanzoni +3
We have employed deep far-UV observations secured with the Solar Blind Channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard the Hubble Space Telescope to search for hot companions to…
A binary-related origin mediated by environmental conditions for blue straggler stars
Francesco R. Ferraro, Barbara Lanzoni, Enrico Vesperini +7
Blue stragglers are anomalously massive core hydrogen-burning stars that, according to the theory of single star evolution, should not exist. They are suspected to form in mass-enh…
Structural parameters, chronological age and dynamical age of the LMC globular cluster NGC 1754
Camilla Giusti, Mario Cadelano, Francesco R. Ferraro +4
In the context of a new systematic study of the properties of the most compact and massive star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), here we present the determination of t…
Stellar rotation in the intermediate-age massive cluster NGC 1783: clues on the nature of UV-dim stars
Silvia Leanza, Emanuele Dalessandro, Mario Cadelano +9
Over the past decade, stellar rotation has emerged as a key factor in shaping the morphology of color-magnitude diagrams of young and intermediate-age star clusters. In this study,…
