The metallicity distribution in the core of the Sagittarus dwarf spheroidal: minimising the metallicity biases

Alice Minelli, Michele Bellazzini, Alessio Mucciarelli +7

We present metallicity and radial velocity for 450 bonafide members of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Sgr dSph) galaxy, measured from high resolution (R~18000) FLAMES@VLT spectr…

Sulfur abundances in three Galactic clusters: Ruprecht 106, Trumpler 5 and Trumpler 20

F. Lucertini, L. Monaco, E. Caffau +4

Context. Sulfur (S) is one of the lesser-studied -elements. Published investigations of its behavior have so far focused on local stars, and only a few clusters of the Milky Way…

Investigating a predicted metallicity [Fe/H] variation in the Type II Globular Cluster NGC 362

C. Vargas, S. Villanova, D. Geisler +4

NGC 362 is a non-common Type II Galactic globular cluster, showing a complex pseudo two-color diagram or 'chromosome map'. The clear separation of its stellar populations in the co…

The Gaia EDR3 view of Johnson-Kron-Cousins standard stars: the curated Landolt and Stetson collections

E. Pancino, P. M. Marrese, S. Marinoni +7

(Shortened). In the era of large surveys and space missions, it is necessary to rely on large samples of well-characterized stars for inter-calibrating and comparing measurements f…
