We discuss the observational properties of a special class of objects (the so-called “Blue Straggler Stars”, BSSs) in the framework of using this stellar population as probe of the …

In the context of a project aimed at characterizing the properties of the so-called Bulge Fossil Fragments (the fossil remnants of the bulge formation epoch), here we present the first …

We have used the" dynamical clock" to measure the level of dynamical evolution reached by three Galactic globular clusters (namely, NGC 3201, NGC 6316, and NGC 6440). This is an …
The study of stellar dynamics is experiencing an exciting new wave of interest thanks to observational campaigns and the ready availability of powerful computers. Whilst its …
We study an intermediate-age open cluster (OC) NGC 2506 using the ASTROSAT/UVIT data and other archival data. We identified 2175 cluster members using a machine learning …
