We analyse Gaia EDR3 and re-calibrated HST proper motion data from the core-collapsed and non core-collapsed globular clusters NGC 6397 and NGC 3201, respectively, with the Bayesian mass-orbit modelling code MAMPOSSt-PM. We use Bayesian…

We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of the globular cluster NGC 6397 and use them to extend to infrared wavelengths the characterization of the cluster's entire white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS). The data allows us to…

We use radial velocities of member stars and cluster surface brightness profiles to non-parametrically determine the mass density profiles and isotropic phase-space distribution functions $f(E)$ for the globular clusters M15 (NGC7078),…

Recently, \citet{vitral2021does} detected a central concentration of dark objects in the core-collapsed globular cluster NGC 6397, which could be interpreted as a subcluster of stellar-mass black holes. However, it is well established…

We derive astrophysical and structural parameters of the poorly studied open clusters NGC 6866, NGC 7062, and NGC 2360 based on filtered 2MASS (J, J -H) diagrams, and stellar radial density profiles. The field star decontamination technique…

Using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the globular cluster NGC6397, we constrain the cluster's binary fraction. The observations consist of two fields: the primary science field, a single ACS pointing centered approximately 5'…

We have used the Gemini Multi-object Spectrograph (GMOS) on the Gemini South 8m telescope in exceptional conditions (0.6" FWHM seeing) to observe the outer stellar disk of the Sculptor group galaxy NGC 300 at two locations. At our point…

In the context of a project aimed at characterizing the properties of star clusters in the Galactic bulge, here we present the determination of the internal kinematics and structure of the massive globular cluster NGC 6569. The kinematics…

We have performed a series of direct N-body simulations that study the evolution of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6397 under the combined influence of two-body relaxation, stellar evolution and the Milky Way's tidal field. Our…

This is the first of two papers presenting a detailed examination of Fokker-Planck models for the globular cluster NGC 6397. I show that these models provide a good match to observations of the surface density profile, mass functions at…

Aims: We present the first in-depth study of the kinematic properties and derive the structural parameters of NGC 4372 based on the fit of a Plummer profile and a rotating, physical model. We explore the link between internal rotation to…

We derive fundamental parameters for the old, rich open cluster NGC 1245 using BVI photometry from the MDM 1.3m and 2.4m telescopes. Based on detailed isochrone fitting, we find NGC 1245 has a slightly sub-solar metallicity, [Fe/H]=-0.05 +-…

We use 2MASS photometry to study colour-magnitude and colour-colour diagrams, structure and mass distribution in the ionizing open cluster NGC\,6611. Reddening variation throughout the cluster region is taken into account followed by…

The $13.6\times 13.6$ arcmin$^{2}$ field covering the central part of the globular cluster NGC~6397 was surveyed in a search for short-period variable stars. We obtained light curves for 6 close binaries, 2 SX~Phe stars and 1 RR~Lyrae…

We report on the discovery of an extended stellar halo surrounding the distant Galactic globular cluster NGC 5694, based on new deep (V ~ 24.5) wide-field (24' * 20') photometry acquired with VIMOS at VLT. Stars with colour and magnitude…

We present a wide field CCD photometric study of Galactic globular cluster NGC 7492. The derived VR color-magnitude diagram extends down to about 3.5 mag below the cluster main sequence turn-off. The field covers 42' X 42' about 3 times…

We present wide field CCD photometry of a galactic globular cluster M92 obtained in the V and I bands with the CFH12K mosaic CCD at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. A well-defined color-magnitude diagram is derived down to 5 magnitudes…

We describe Monte Carlo models for the dynamical evolution of the nearby globular cluster NGC 6397. The code includes treatments of two-body relaxation, most kinds of three- and four-body interactions involving primordial binaries and those…

In this paper we have examined the internal dynamics of the globular cluster NGC 362. A V band surface brightness profile (SBP) was constructed from CCD images, and, after it was determined that the cluster is not post core-collapse, fit…

Recent work has used spectra of about 5000 stars in NGC 6397 that were extracted from a MUSE mosaic to determine the atmospheric parameters for these stars by fitting the spectra against the Goettingen Spectral Library. A significant change…
