Future of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars from the Experience of Recent Name-lists

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2021
We briefly outline the history of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) and the New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars (NSV catalogue). Recently, we have completed a revision of the NSV catalogue.

Rotation in Globular Cluster stars [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2003
We present a derivation of upper limits to the rotation of Main Sequence stars in three globular clusters using spectra obtained during time allocated to the ESO Large Programs 165-L0263 and 167.D-0173, with UVES at VLT2 (Kueyen). The stars analyzed in this work do not show any evidence of high values of rotational velocities as far as the outer layers

Calibrating X-Ray Binary Luminosity Functions via Optical Reconnaissance. II. The High-mass XLF and Globular Cluster Population of X-Ray Binaries in the Low Star-forming Spiral M81

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We characterize the optical counterparts to the compact X-ray source population within the nearby spiral galaxy M81 using multiband Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging data.

Searching for New Globular Clusters in M31 with Gaia EDR3

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We have found 50 new globular cluster (GC) candidates around M31 with Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3), with the help of Pan-STARRS1 DR1 magnitudes and Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) images.

Neutron Stars in Globular Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007
AbstractDynamical interactions that occur between objects in dense stellar systems are particularly important for the question of formation of X-ray binaries. We present results of numerical simulations of 70 globular clusters with different dynamical properties and a total stellar mass of 2×107M⊙.

The Global Mass Functions of 35 Galactic globular clusters: II. Clues on the Initial Mass Function and Black Hole Retention Fraction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper we compare the mass function slopes of Galactic globular clusters recently determined by Sollima & Baumgardt (2017) with a set of dedicated N-body simulations of star clusters containing between 65,000 to 200,000 stars.

The Origin of Gamma-Rays from Globular Clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Fermi has detected gamma-ray emission from eight globular clusters. We suggest that the gamma-ray emission from globular clusters may result from the inverse Compton scattering between relativistic electrons/positrons in the pulsar wind of MSPs in the ...

Variability in NGC 3201 Giant Stars

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present the analysis of 510 light curves in V and I bands of 255 giant stars in the globular cluster NGC 3201. Our aim is to expand the sample of new types of variables reported in a previous study. These variables show a short period ( P _V < 0.6 day)

STAR CLUSTERS IN M31. VII. GLOBAL KINEMATICS AND METALLICITY SUBPOPULATIONS OF THE GLOBULAR CLUSTERS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We carry out a joint spatial–kinematical–metallicity analysis of globular clusters (GCs) around the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), using a homogeneous, high-quality spectroscopic data set.
