The galaxy database "GOLDmine" (http://goldmine.mib.infn.it/) has been significantly updated (Sept/1/2003) The new features include: a) Sample extension:the GOLDmine sample has been extended from the original Virgo cluster + Coma…
The new World Wide Web site "GOLDMine" (Galaxy On Line Database Milano Network) (http://goldmine.mib.infn.it) contains a multiwavelength data-base of an optically selected sample of 3267 galaxies in the Virgo cluster and in the Coma…
We present a new homogeneous set of metallicity estimates based on Lick indices for 245 old globular clusters of the M31 galaxy comprised in the Revised Bologna Catalog. The metallicity distribution of the M31 globular clusters is briefly…
We present new deep photometry of the rich globular cluster (GC) systems around the Brightest Cluster Galaxies UGC 9799 (Abell 2052) and UGC 10143 (Abell 2147), obtained with the HST ACS and WFC3 cameras. For comparison, we also present new…
We have developed a star-counting algorithm and tested it on the 2MASS star catalog to search for density enhancements significantly above the field in Galactic latitude $|b|<50^{\circ}$. Nearly 500 open clusters are "rediscovered", along…
This work reports the discovery of three new globular clusters (GCs) towards the Galactic bulge - Camargo 1107, 1108, and 1109. The discovery was made using the WISE, 2MASS, VVV, and Gaia-DR2 photometry. The new findings are old (12.0-13.5…
We have compiled a new catalogue of open clusters in the Galaxy which updates the previous catalogues of Lynga (1987) and of Mermilliod (1995) (included in the WEBDA database). New objects and new data, in particular, data on kinematics…
Recently, new Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy globular clusters were discovered, which opens the question on the actual size of the Sgr globular cluster population, and therefore on our understanding of the Sgr galaxy formation and accretion…
The Millennium Galaxy Catalogue (MGC) provides a structural database comprising 10,095 well resolved galaxies drawn from a 37.5 sq. deg region of sky, with $B_{\tiny \sc mgc} < 20.0$ mag and 96.1 per cent spectroscopic completeness. The…
Deep near infrared photometry of the newly discovered Galactic globular Cluster GLIMPSE-C01 is reported. We derived for the first time the metal abundance of this object from the slope of the RGB: [Fe/H]=-1.61+/-0.14 in the scale of Zinn…
We present results from a near/mid IR search for submillimetre galaxies over a region of 6230 sq deg. of the southern sky. We used a cross-correlation of the VISTA Hemispheric Survey (VHS) and the WISE database to identify bright galaxies…
We present a new galaxy cluster catalog constructed from SDSS DR9 using an Adaptive Matched Filter technique. Our main catalog has 46,479 galaxy clusters with richness $\Lambda_{200} > 20$ in the redshift range 0.045 $\le z <$ 0.641 in…
Updated data of the 153 Galactic globular clusters are used to readdress fundamental parameters of the Milky Way. We build a reduced sample, decontaminated of the clusters younger than 10Gyr, those with retrograde orbits and/or evidence of…

We identified 132,684 clusters in the redshift range of 0.05<z<0.8 from SDSS DR8. The spectroscopic redshifts of 52,683 clusters have been included in the catalog using SDSS DR9 data. We found that BCGs are more luminous in richer clusters…
We present near-infrared (H band) surface photometry of 170 galaxies, obtained in 1997 using the Calar Alto 2.2m telescope equipped with the NICMOS3 camera MAGIC. The majority of our targets are selected among bright members of the Virgo…
We carry out a large program to classify newly discovered star clusters from Froebrich et al. (2006) in the inner Galaxy. Here, we present a first analysis of a new high-priority globular cluster candidate, FSR1735 at l=339.1879; b=-1.8534,…
A catalog of Galactic globular clusters has been compiled and used to analyze relations between the chemical and kinematic parameters of the clusters. The catalog contains positions, distances, luminosities, metallicites, and…
We introduce the SDSS/APOGEE Value Added Catalogue of Galactic Globular Cluster (GC) Stars. The catalogue is the result of a critical search of the APOGEE data release 17 (DR17) catalogue for candidate members of all known Galactic GCs.…
We present the results from an extensive spectroscopic survey of the central region of the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 2199 at $z=0.03$. By combining 775 new redshifts from the MMT/Hectospec observations with the data in the literature, we…
