Updated Pre-Main Sequence tracks at low metallicities for 0.1< M/Mo<1.5

Di Criscienzo, P. Ventura, F. D'Antona

Young populations at Z<Zo are being examined to understand the role of metallicity in the first phases of stellar evolution. For the analysis it is necessary to assign mass and age…

Formation and Dynamical Evolution of Multiple Stellar Generations in Globular Clusters

Annibale D'Ercole, Enrico Vesperini, Francesca D'Antona +2

Some globular clusters are observed to host a population of second generation (SG) stars which show chemical anomalies and must have formed from gas containing matter processed in…

The fraction of second generation stars in Globular Clusters from the analysis of the Horizontal Branch

F. D'Antona, V. Caloi

Most Globular Clusters (GC) show chemical inhomogeneities in the composition of their stars, apparently due to a second stellar generation (SG) in which the forming gas is enriched…

The self-enrichment scenario in intermediate metallicity globular clusters

Paolo Ventura, Francesca D'Antona

We present stellar yields computed from detailed models of intermediate mass asymptotic giant branch stars of low metallicity. In this work, the whole main microphysics inputs have…

Multiple stellar populations in Globular Clusters: collection of information from the Horizontal Branch

F. D'Antona, V. Caloi

The majority of the inhomogeneities in the chemical composition of Globular Cluster (GC) stars appear due to primordial enrichment by hot-CNO cycled material processed in stars bel…

A model for the Globular Cluster extreme anomalies

F. D'Antona, P. Ventura

In spite of the efforts made in the latest years, still there is no comprehensive explanation for the chemical anomalies of globular cluster stars. Among these, the most striking i…
