Chromosome maps of young LMC clusters: an additional case of coeval multiple populations

Recent studies have revealed that the multiple populations (MPs) phenomenon does not occur only in ancient and massive Galactic globular clusters (GCs), but it is also observed in external galaxies, where GCs sample a wide age range with respect to the Mil ...

Searching for globular cluster chemical anomalies on the main sequence of a young massive cluster

Carmela Lardo

The spectroscopic and photometric signals of the star-to-star abundance variations found in globular clusters seem to be correlated with global parameters like the cluster's metallicity, mass, and age. Understanding this behaviour could bring us closer to ...

Environmental processing in cluster core galaxies at z=1.7

Gianluca Castignani

Today, the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are passive and very massive galaxies at the center of their clusters, and they still accrete mass through swallowing companions and gas from cooling flows. However their formation history is not well known. We ...

Extended main sequence turnoffs in open clusters as seen by Gaia - II. The enigma of NGC 2509

Carmela Lardo

We investigate the morphology of the colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) of the open cluster NGC 2509 in comparison with other Galactic open clusters of similar age using Gaia photometry. At similar to 900 Myr Galactic open clusters in our sample all show an ex ...

Unravelling the role of phoretic and hydrodynamic interactions in active colloidal suspensions

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Active fluids comprise a variety of systems composed of elements immersed in a fluid environment which can convert some form of energy into directed motion; as such they are intrinsically out-of-equilibrium in the absence of any external force. A fundament ...

The GOGREEN survey: the environmental dependence of the star-forming galaxy main sequence at 1.0 < z < 1.5

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

We present results on the environmental dependence of the star-forming galaxy main sequence in 11 galaxy cluster fields at 1.0 < z < 1.5 from the Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments Survey (GOGREEN) survey. We use a homogeneously sel ...

The GOGREEN survey: post-infall environmental quenching fails to predict the observed age difference between quiescent field and cluster galaxies at z > 1

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

We study the star formation histories (SFHs) and mass-weighted ages of 331 UVJ-selected quiescent galaxies in 11 galaxy clusters and in the field at 1 < z < 1.5 from the Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early ENvironments (GOGREEN) survey. We determ ...

Leveraging HST with MUSE: II. Na-abundance variations in intermediate age star clusters

Carmela Lardo

Ancient (>10 Gyr) globular clusters (GCs) show chemical abundance variations in the form of patterns among certain elements, e.g. N correlates with Na and anticorrelates with O. Recently, N abundance spreads have also been observed in massive star clusters ...

KRAB-zinc finger protein gene expansion in response to active retrotransposons in the murine lineage

Didier Trono, Alberto De Iaco

The Krüppel-associated box zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) family diversified in mammals. The majority of human KRAB-ZFPs bind transposable elements (TEs), however, since most TEs are inactive in humans it is unclear whether KRAB-ZFPs emerged to suppress TE ...

Molecular gas in distant brightest cluster galaxies

Gianluca Castignani

The mechanisms governing the stellar mass assembly and star formation history of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are still being debated. By means of new and archival molecular gas observations we investigate the role of dense megaparsec-scale environmen ...
