Discovery of a double white dwarf in the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6397

Fabian Göttgens, Marilyn Latour, Ulrich Heber +4

Binaries in the cores of globular clusters are known to prevent the gravitational collapse of the cluster, and simulations predict that the core of NGC 6397 contains a large number…

Tracing stellar rotation in young massive LMC clusters

Sebastian Kamann, Nate Bastian, Florian Niederhofer +8

We present a detailed analysis of stellar rotation along the main sequences of NGC 1866 and NGC 1856, two young (~200-300 Myr) massive clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, using…

Binary properties of the globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104). A dearth of short-period binaries

Johanna Müller-Horn, Fabian Göttgens, Stefan Dreizler +4

Spectroscopic observations of binary stars in globular clusters are essential to shed light on the poorly constrained period, eccentricity, and mass ratio distributions and to deve…

Studying Binary Systems in Omega Centauri with MUSE. I. Detection of Spectroscopic Binaries

F. Wragg, S. Kamann, S. Saracino +6

NGC 5139 ( Cen), is the closest candidate of a Nuclear Star Cluster that has been stripped of its host galaxy in the Milky Way. Despite extensive studies through the last decade…

The Blue Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (BlueMUSE) on the VLT: End-To-End simulator 'BlueSi'

Martin Wendt, Norberto Castro, Sven Martens +4

BlueMUSE is a blue, medium spectral resolution, panoramic integral-field spectrograph under development for the Very Large Telescope (VLT). We demonstrate and discuss an early End-…

Centauri: A MUSE discovery of a counter-rotating core

Renuka Pechetti, Sebastian Kamann, Davor Krajnovic +7

Centauri is considered the most massive globular cluster of the Milky Way and likely the former nuclear star cluster of a galaxy accreted by the Milky Way. It is speculated to…

Kinematic differences between multiple populations in Galactic globular clusters

Sven Martens, Sebastian Kamann, Stefan Dreizler +7

The formation process of multiple populations in globular clusters is still up for debate. Kinematic differences between the populations are particularly interesting in this respec…

The BlueMUSE data reduction pipeline: lessons learned from MUSE and first design choices

Peter M. Weilbacher, Sven Martens, Martin Wendt +5

BlueMUSE is an integral field spectrograph in an early development stage for the ESO VLT. For our design of the data reduction software for this instrument, we are first reviewing…

pyobs -- An observatory control system forrobotic telescopes

Tim-Oliver Husser, Frederic V. Hessman, Sven Martens +3

We present a Python-based framework for the complete operation of a robotic telescope observatory. It provides out-of-the-box support for many popular camera types while other hard…

A stellar census in globular clusters with MUSE: The contribution of rotation to cluster dynamics studied with 200 000 stars

Sebastian Kamann, Tim-Oliver Husser, Stefan Dreizler +10

This is the first of a series of papers presenting the results from our survey of 25 Galactic globular clusters with the MUSE integral-field spectrograph. In combination with our d…
