Na-O anticorrelation and HB. VII. The chemical composition of first and second-generation stars in 1
- E. Carretta, A. Bragaglia, E. Sabbi
- Physics
- 16 September 2009
We present abundances of Fe, Na, and O for 1409 red giant stars in 15 galactic globular clusters (GCs), derived from the homogeneous analysis of high-resolution FLAMES/GIRAFFE spectra. Combining the…
Gaia Data Release 2
- A. Brown, A. Vallenari, T. Zwitter
- PhysicsAstronomy & Astrophysics
- 25 April 2018
Context. The second data release of the Gaia mission (DR2) includes an advance catalogue of variable stars. The classifications of these stars are based on sparse photometry from the first 22 months…

The dramatic improvement brought by Gaia DR2 astrometry of SSOs is demonstrated by comparisons to the archive data and by preliminary tests on the detection of subtle non-gravitational effects.
Gaia Data Release 2
- Gaia Collaboration, C. Babusiaux, T. Zwitter
- PhysicsAstronomy & Astrophysics
- 25 April 2018
Context. Gaia Data Release 2 provides high-precision astrometry and three-band photometry for about 1.3 billion sources over the full sky. The precision, accuracy, and homogeneity of both astrometry…
Detailed abundances of a large sample of giant stars in M 54 and in the Sagittarius nucleus
- E. Carretta, A. Bragaglia, U. Padova
- Physics
- 30 June 2010
Homogeneous abundances of light elements, α-elements, and Fe-group elements from high-resolution FLAMES spectra are presented for 76 red giant stars in NGC 6715 (M 54), a massive globular cluster…
A Step toward the Calibration of the Red Giant Branch Tip as a Standard Candle
- M. Bellazzini, F. Ferraro, E. Pancino
- Physics
- 6 April 2001
The absolute I magnitude of the tip of the red giant branch (M) is one of the most promising standard candles actually used in astrophysics as a fundamental pillar for the cosmological distance…
2MASS NIR photometry for 693 candidate globular clusters in M 31 and the Revised Bologna Catalogue
- S. Galleti, L. Federici, M. Bellazzini, F. F. Pecci, S. M. I. Oss.Astr.Bologna, Univ.Bologna Dip.Astr.
- Physics
- 17 December 2003
We have identified in the 2MASS database 693 known and candidate globular clusters in M 31. The 2MASS J, H, K magnitudes of these objects have been transformed to the same homogeneous photometric…
The calibration of the RGB Tip as a Standard Candle Extension to Near Infrared colors and higher metallicity
- M. Bellazzini, F. Ferraro, A. Sollima, E. Pancino, L. Origlia
- Physics
- 29 April 2004
New empirical calibrations of the Red Giant Branch Tip in the I, J, H and K bands based on two fundamental pillars, namely ω Centauri and 47 Tucanae, have been obtained by using a large optical and…
Metallicities, Relative Ages, and Kinematics of Stellar Populations in ω Centauri
- A. Sollima, E. Pancino, F. Ferraro, M. Bellazzini, O. Straniero, L. Pasquini
- Physics, Geology
- 5 September 2005
We present results of an extensive spectroscopic survey of subgiant stars in the stellar system ω Cen. Using infrared Ca II triplet lines, we derived metallicities and radial velocities for more than…
