ELVES II: Globular Clusters and Nuclear Star Clusters of Dwarf Galaxies: the Importance of Environment [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2021
We present the properties of the globular clusters (GCs) and nuclear star clusters (NSCs) of low-mass (105.5 < M ⋆ < 108.5 M ⊙) early-type satellites of Milky Way–like and small group hosts in the Local Volume (LV) using deep, ground-based data from the ...

Hierarchical black hole mergers in young, globular and nuclear star clusters: the effect of metallicity, spin and cluster properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
We explore hierarchical black hole (BH) mergers in nuclear star clusters (NSCs), globular clusters (GCs) and young star clusters (YSCs), accounting for both original and dynamically assembled binary BHs (BBHs).

Mass and Rate of Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers in Young, Globular and Nuclear Star Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2020
Hierarchical mergers are one of the distinctive signatures of binary black hole (BBH) formation through dynamical evolution. Here, we present a fast semi-analytic approach to simulate hierarchical mergers in nuclear star clusters (NSCs), globular ...

Star and Globular Cluster Formation in Mergers [PDF]

open access: bronzeSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996
The high burst strengths and star formation efficiencies found with spectrophotmetric and chemical evolutionary synthesis for mergers of gas-rich spirals led us to expect the formation of a secondary population of globular clusters (GC) with enhanced metallicity (F. – v. A. & Gerhard 1994, A&A 285, 751 u.775).

The GeMS/GSAOI Galactic Globular Cluster Survey (G4CS). II. Characterization of 47 Tuc with Bayesian Statistics

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a photometric analysis of globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104) using near-IR imaging data from the GeMS/GSAOI Galactic Globular Cluster Survey (G4CS), which is in operation at Gemini-South telescope.

A Wide View of the Galactic Globular Cluster NGC 2808: Red Giant and Horizontal Branch Star Spatial Distributions

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Wide-field and deep DECam multiband photometry, combined with HST data for the core of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808, allowed us to study the distribution of various stellar subpopulations and stars in different evolutionary phases out to the ...

Multiple Populations in Star Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
We review the multiple population (MP) phenomenon of globular clusters (GCs): i.e., the evidence that GCs typically host groups of stars with different elemental abundances and/or distinct sequences in photometric diagrams.

oMEGACat. I. MUSE Spectroscopy of 300,000 Stars within the Half-light Radius of ω Centauri

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Omega Centauri ( ω Cen) is the most massive globular cluster of the Milky Way and has been the focus of many studies that reveal the complexity of its stellar populations and kinematics.
