Ceci n'est pas a globular cluster: the metallicity distribution of the stellar system Terzan 5

Davide Massari, A. Mucciarelli, F. R. Ferraro +9

We present new determinations of the iron abundance for 220 stars belonging to the stellar system Terzan 5 in the Galactic bulge. The spectra have been acquired with FLAMES at the…

Chemical and kinematical properties of Galactic bulge stars surrounding the stellar system Terzan 5

Davide Massari, A. Mucciarelli, F. R. Ferraro +8

As part of a study aimed at determining the kinematical and chemical properties of Terzan 5, we present the first characterization of the bulge stars surrounding this puzzling stel…

A Deep, Wide-Field, and Panchromatic View of 47 Tuc and the SMC with HST: Observations and Data Analysis Methods

Jason S. Kalirai, Harvey B. Richer, Jay Anderson +10

In HST Cycle 17, we imaged the well known globular star cluster 47 Tucanae for 121 orbits using ACS and both the UVIS and IR channels of WFC3 (GO-11677, PI - H. Richer). This uniqu…

Kinematics at the Edge of the Galactic Bulge: Evidence for Cylindrical Rotation

Christian D. Howard, R. Michael Rich, Will Clarkson +9

We present new results from BRAVA, a large scale radial velocity survey of the Galactic bulge, using M giant stars selected from the Two Micron All Sky Survey catalogue as targets…

The Bulge Radial Velocity Assay (BRAVA): I. Sample Selection and a Rotation Curve

Christian D. Howard, R. Michael Rich, David B. Reitzel +3

Results from the Bulge Radial Velocity Assay (BRAVA) are presented. BRAVA uses M giant stars, selected from the 2MASS catalog to lie within a bound of reddening corrected color and…
