Central kinematics of the Galactic globular cluster M80
Fabian Göttgens, Sebastian Kamann, Holger Baumgardt +7
We use spectra observed with the integral-field spectrograph MUSE to reveal the central kinematics of the Galactic globular cluster Messier 80 (M80, NGC 6093). Using observations o…
Leveraging HST with MUSE: I. Sodium abundance variations within the 2 Gyr-old cluster NGC 1978
S. Saracino, S. Kamann, C. Usher +10
Nearly all of the well studied ancient globular clusters (GCs), in the Milky Way and in nearby galaxies, show star-to-star variations in specific elements (e.g., He, C, N, O, Na, A…
A stellar census in globular clusters with MUSE -- Extending the CaT-metallicity relation below the horizontal branch and applying it to multiple populations
Tim-Oliver Husser, Marilyn Latour, Jarle Brinchmann +7
Aims. We use the spectra of more than 30,000 red giant branch (RGB) stars in 25 globular clusters (GC), obtained within the MUSE survey of Galactic globular clusters, to calibrate…
How stellar rotation shapes the colour magnitude diagram of the massive intermediate-age star cluster NGC 1846
Sebastian Kamann, Nate Bastian, Seth Gossage +19
We present a detailed study of stellar rotation in the massive 1.5 Gyr old cluster NGC 1846 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Similar to other clusters at this age, NGC 1846 shows an…
The peculiar kinematics of the multiple populations in the globular cluster Messier 80 (NGC 6093)
Sebastian Kamann, Emanuele Dalessandro, Nate Bastian +10
We combine MUSE spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet (UV) photometry to perform a study of the chemistry and dynamics of the Galactic globular cluster Messier 80 (M8…
The binary content of multiple populations in NGC 3201
Sebastian Kamann, Benjamin Giesers, Nate Bastian +7
We investigate the binary content of the two stellar populations that coexist in the globular cluster NGC 3201. Previous studies of binary stars in globular clusters have reported…
A stellar census in globular clusters with MUSE: Multiple populations chemistry in NGC 2808
M. Latour, T. -O. Husser, B. Giesers +8
Galactic globular clusters (GCs) are now known to host multiple populations displaying particular abundance variations. The different populations within a GC can be well distinguis…
A stellar census in globular clusters with MUSE: A spectral catalogue of emission-line sources
Fabian Göttgens, Tim-Oliver Husser, Sebastian Kamann +6
Globular clusters produce many exotic stars due to a much higher frequency of dynamical interactions in their dense stellar environments. Some of these objects were observed togeth…
A stellar census in globular clusters with MUSE: Binaries in NGC 3201
Benjamin Giesers, Sebastian Kamann, Stefan Dreizler +8
We utilize multi-epoch MUSE spectroscopy to study binaries in the core of NGC 3201. Our sample consists of 3553 stars with 54883 spectra in total comprising 3200 main-sequence star…
Discovery of an old nova remnant in the Galactic globular cluster M 22
Fabian Göttgens, Peter M. Weilbacher, Martin M. Roth +11
A nova is a cataclysmic event on the surface of a white dwarf in a binary system that increases the overall brightness by several orders of magnitude. Although binary systems with…
A detached stellar-mass black hole candidate in the globular cluster NGC 3201
Benjamin Giesers, Stefan Dreizler, Tim-Oliver Husser +7
As part of our massive spectroscopic survey of 25 Galactic globular clusters with MUSE, we performed multiple epoch observations of NGC 3201 with the aim of constraining the binary…
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…
A terrestrial planet candidate in a temperate orbit around Proxima Centauri
Guillem Anglada-Escudé, Pedro J. Amado, John Barnes +28
At a distance of 1.295 parsecs, the red-dwarf Proxima Centauri ( Centauri C, GL 551, HIP 70890, or simply Proxima) is the Sun's closest stellar neighbor and one of the best stud…
Exploring plausible formation scenarios for the planet candidate orbiting Proxima Centauri
Gavin A. L. Coleman, Richard P. Nelson, Sijme-Jan Paardekooper +3
We present a study of four different formation scenarios that may be able to explain the origin of the recently announced planet (`Proxima b') orbiting Proxima Centauri. The aim is…
