Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA). VI. The age-metallicity relation of in-situ clusters and the age of the Universe

A Long Period Stellar-Mass Black Hole Binary in Centauri
Matthew Whitaker, Evan Kerr, Anil Seth +16
Modern simulations of stellar dynamics in globular clusters peg a dominant role for stellar-mass black holes, but direct evidence for black holes in clusters remains limited. We pr…
The MUSE-Faint survey V. The binary fraction of Leo T

Evidence of a massive accretion event 1.8 billion years before the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus merger
Davide Massari, Chiara Zerbinati, Cristiano Fanelli +15
The merger history of the Galaxy has been traced back firmly to redshift 2 (10 Billion years ago). While evidence for the existence of at least one more significant merger before t…
Hubble Space Telescope proper motions of Large Magellanic Cloud star clusters -- II. Kinematic structure of young and intermediate-age clusters
F. Niederhofer, L. Cullinane, D. Massari +14
In this paper, we explore the kinematic properties of a sample of 19 young (<1 Gyr) and intermediate-age (1-2.5 Gyr) massive star clusters within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).…

F. Niederhofer, D. Massari, F. Aguado-Agelet +15
In this study, we report conclusive evidence for an ancient star cluster that has been accreted by the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). By leveraging observations from the Hubble Spac…
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,…
Chemical tagging with APOGEE, MUSE, and HST: constraints on the formation of Centauri
Andrew C. Mason, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Sebastian Kamann +9
A plethora of evidence suggests that Centauri ( Cen) is the nuclear star cluster of a galaxy that merged with the Milky Way in early times. We use APOGEE, Gaia, MUSE, and HS…
Studying Binary Systems in Omega Centauri with MUSE: II. Observational constraints on the orbital period distribution
S. Saracino, S. Kamann, F. Wragg +8
Omega Centauri ( Cen) is one of the most complex star clusters in the Milky Way, and likely the stripped nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy. Being the subject of debate between…
Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA). III. NGC 288 as the first Splashed globular cluster
E. Ceccarelli, D. Massari, F. Aguado-Agelet +6
The system of globular clusters (GCs) in the Milky Way (MW) comprises a mixture of both in situ and accreted clusters. Tracing the origin of GCs provides invaluable insights into t…
Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA). II. The age-metallicity relation of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus globular clusters
Fernando Aguado-Agelet, Davide Massari, Matteo Monelli +8
We present the age determination of 13 globular clusters dynamically associated with the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) merger event, as part of the CARMA project effort to trace the…
The Missing Globular Cluster Survey. I. Survey overview and the first precise age estimate for ESO452-11 and 2MASS-GC01

We present the Missing Globular Cluster Survey (MGCS), a Treasury Program dedicated to the observation of all kinematically confirmed Milky Wa…
A stellar census in globular clusters with MUSE. Metallicity spread and dispersion among first-population stars
M. Latour, S. Kamann, S. Martocchia +3
Multiple populations are ubiquitous in the old massive globular clusters (GCs) of the Milky Way. It is still unclear how they arose during the formation of a GC. The topic of iron…
