The Gaia-ESO Survey: Matching Chemo-Dynamical Simulations to Observations of the Milky Way

B. B. Thompson, C. G. Few, M. Bergemann +39

The typical methodology for comparing simulated galaxies with observational surveys is usually to apply a spatial selection to the simulation to mimic the region of interest covere…

On the assessment of the nature of open star clusters and the determination of their basic parameters with limited data

Giovanni Carraro, Anton F. Seleznev, G. Baume +1

Our knowledge of stellar evolution and of the structure and chemical evolution of the Galactic disk largely builds on the study of open star clusters. Because of their crucial role…

On the existence of young embedded clusters at high Galactic latitude

D. G. Turner, G. Carraro, E. A. Panko

Careful analyses of photometric and star count data available for the nine putative young clusters identified by Camargo et al. (2015, 2016) at high Galactic latitudes reveal that…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Exploring the complex nature and origins of the Galactic bulge populations

A. Rojas-Arriagada, A. Recio-Blanco, P. de Laverny +36

Abridged: We used the fourth internal data release of the Gaia-ESO survey to characterize the bulge chemistry, spatial distribution, kinematics, and to compare it chemically with t…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: radial distribution of abundances in the Galactic disc from open clusters and young field stars

L. Magrini, S. Randich, G. Kordopatis +44

The spatial distribution of elemental abundances in the disc of our Galaxy gives insights both on its assembly process and subsequent evolution, and on the stellar nucleogenesis of…

On the mass of the Galactic star cluster NGC 4337

Anton F. Seleznev, Giovanni Carraro, Roberto Capuzzo Dolcetta +2

Only a small number of galactic open clusters survives for longer than few hundred million years. Longer lifetimes are routinely explained in term of larger initial masses, particu…

Extinction in the Star Cluster SAI~113 and Galactic Structure in Carina

Giovanni Carraro, David Turner, Daniel Majaess +3

Photometric CCD {\it UBVI} photometry obtained for 4860 stars surrounding the embedded southern cluster SAI~113 (Skiff~8) is used to examine the reddening in the field and deri…
