Ancient relic moderately metal-rich bulge cluster Tonantzintla 2
Sergio Ortolani, Stefano O. Souza, Domenico Nardiello +6
The assembly history of the Galactic bulge is intimately tied to the formation of the proto-Milky Way, yet reconstructing this early phase is difficult because mergers and secular…
The VISCACHA Survey: XIII. The extended main-sequence turn-off in intermediate-age low-mass clusters
Stefano Souza, Angeles Pérez-Villegas, Bruno Dias +16
The extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO) is a well-known feature observed in young and intermediate-age star clusters, characterized by a significant broadening of the main-sequ…
The Spheroidal Bulge of the Milky Way: Chemodynamically Distinct from the Inner-Thick Disc and Bar
Samir Nepal, Cristina Chiappini, Angeles Pérez-Villegas +7
Studying the composition and origin of the inner region of our Galaxy -- the "Galactic bulge" -- is crucial for understanding the formation and evolution of the Milky Way and other…
Revisited parameters for the twin bulge globular clusters NGC 6528 and NGC 6553
S. Ortolani, S. O. Souza, D. Nardiello +2
NGC 6528 and NGC 6553 are among the most metal-rich globular clusters in the Galactic bulge. They represent the upper end of the chemical enrichment in the Galaxy, and can inform o…
Tracing back a second-generation star stripped from Terzan 5 by the Galactic bar
Stefano O. Souza, Marica Valentini, Cristina Chiappini +6
The Galactic bulge hosts the Milky Way's oldest stars, possibly coming from disrupted globular clusters (GCs) or the bulge's primordial building blocks, making these stars witnesse…
A census of new globular clusters in the Galactic bulge
E. Bica, S. Ortolani, B. Barbuy +1
The number of known globular clusters in the Galactic bulge has been increasing steadily thanks to different new surveys. The aim of this study is to provide a census of the newly…
