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).…
Cluster Ages to Reconstruct the Milky Way Assembly (CARMA) IV. Chrono-dynamics of seven old star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud and the peculiar origin of NGC 1841
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…
Testing the Role of Merging Binaries in the Formation of the Split Main Sequence in Young Clusters
Nate Bastian, Sebastian Kamann, Florian Niederhofer +1
A number of theories have been put forward to explain the bi-modal stellar rotational distribution observed in young massive clusters. These include stellar mergers and interaction…
Tracing stellar rotation in young massive LMC clusters
Sebastian Kamann, Nate Bastian, Florian Niederhofer +8
We present a detailed analysis of stellar rotation along the main sequences of NGC 1866 and NGC 1856, two young (~200-300 Myr) massive clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, using…
EWOCS-IV: 1Ms ACIS Chandra observation of the supergiant B[e] star Wd1-9
K. Anastasopoulou, M. G. Guarcello, J. J. Drake +21
Supergiant B[e] (sgB[e]) stars are exceptionally rare objects, with only a handful of confirmed examples in the Milky Way. The evolutionary pathways leading to the sgB[e] phase rem…
Survey of Surveys. II. Stellar parameters for 23 millions of stars
A. Turchi, E. Pancino, A. Avdeeva +16
In the current panorama of large surveys, the vast amount of data obtained with different methods, data types, formats, and stellar samples, is making an efficient use of the avail…
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
D. Massari, M. Bellazzini, M. Libralato +17
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…
