Exploring the optical properties of redback pulsars: The case of J1717+4308A in the globular cluster M92
Jianxing Chen, Greta Ettorre, Cristina Pallanca +13
Binary millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in globular clusters (GCs) are key for binary and stellar evolution studies under extreme conditions. The identification of their optical companio…
Right round: onset and long-term evolution of rotation in star clusters
E. Dalessandro, A. Della Croce, E. Vesperini +4
We present the results of a detailed kinematic analysis of a significant fraction of the known population of Galactic star clusters aimed at constraining the physical mechanisms dr…
Stellar rotation in the intermediate-age massive cluster NGC 1783: clues on the nature of UV-dim stars
Silvia Leanza, Emanuele Dalessandro, Mario Cadelano +9
Over the past decade, stellar rotation has emerged as a key factor in shaping the morphology of color-magnitude diagrams of young and intermediate-age star clusters. In this study,…
Strikingly high fraction of fast rotators in Magellanic Cloud star clusters
Greta Ettorre, Alessandro Mazzi, Leo Girardi +14
There has been growing evidence that the rich star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds contain significant fractions of rapidly rotating stars. In this work, we aim to constrain thes…
Searching for exotic object companions in the dense core of NGC 362: a multi-wavelength and multi-epoch photometric analysis
Greta Ettorre, Emanuele Dalessandro, Cristina Pallanca +8
The dense cores of globular clusters (GCs) are efficient environments for the production of exotic stellar populations, including millisecond pulsars (MSPs), low-mass X-ray binarie…
