We present new metallicity estimates for globular cluster (GC) candidates in the Sd spiral NGC 300, one of the nearest spiral galaxies outside the Local Group. We have obtained optical spectroscopy for 44 Sculptor Group GC candidates with…
A subset of 150 globular clusters in M87 has been selected on the basis of S/N ratio for abundance and age determinations from the sample of Paper I. Indices measuring the strength of the strongest spectral features were determined for the…
We present the results of determination of the age, helium mass fraction (Y), metallicity ([Fe/H]), and abundances of the elements C, N, O, Na, Mg, Ca, Ti, C and Mn for the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6652. We use its medium-resolution…
[ABRIDGED] Metal-rich globular clusters provide important tracers of the formation of our Galaxy. Moreover, and not less important, they are very important calibrators for the derivation of properties of extra-galactic metal-rich stellar…
We present line-strength gradients for 22 spectral indices measured in a sample of 82 early-type galaxies in different environments,including the high-density core of the Coma cluster, the Virgo cluster,poor groups,and field galaxies. We…
We present a new independent determination for the age of one of the oldest open clusters, NGC 188: $6.41 \pm 0.33$ Gyr. We utilize a novel approach where we jointly fit the radial velocities (RVs) and spectral energy distributions (SED) of…
Globular Cluster Systems (GCSs) of most early-type galaxies feature two peaks in their optical colour distributions. Blue-peak GCs are believed to be old and metal-poor, whereas the ages, metallicities, and the origin of the red-peak GCs…
We derive astrophysical parameters of the open cluster NGC 1513 by means of colour indices built with new $CCD\,UBV(RI)_{KC}$ photometry. Based on early-type members, the mean foreground reddening and total to selective extinction ratio are…
We present new astrophysical parameters for the open cluster NGC~6793 based on new CCD $UBV(RI)_{KC}$ photometry. We derived a reddening of $E(B-V) = 0.24 \pm 0.02$~mag and a heavy element abundance of $Z = 0.024$ ($[Fe/H] = +0.20$~dex).…
NGC 6791 is one of the most studied open clusters, it is massive ($\sim5000\,M_{\odot}$), located at the solar circle, old ($~8\,$Gyr) and yet the most metal-rich cluster (${\rm [Fe/H]}\simeq0.4$) known in the Milky Way. By performing an…
Using a combination of high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 observations, we explore the physical properties of the stellar populations in two intermediate-age star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, NGC 1831 and NGC 1868,…
The vertical metallicity gradient of the Galactic disk offers valuable insights into the disk's formation and chemical evolution over time. We utilized the LAMOST-LRS young stellar sample to investigate this gradient and found that it…
HST trigonometric distances, photometric metallicities, isochronic ages from the second revised version of the Geneva--Copenhagen survey, and uniform spectroscopic Fe and Mg abundances from our master catalog are used to construct and…
In earlier work, we showed for the first time that the resolved stellar disk of NGC 300 is very extended with no evidence for truncation, a phenomenon that has since been observed in other disk galaxies. We revisit the outer disk of NGC 300…
A catalog compiling the parameters of 346 open clusters, including their metallicities, positions, ages, and velocities has been composed. The elements of the Galactic orbits for 272 of the clusters have been calculated. Spectroscopic…
Previous results in the literature have found the young inner-disk open cluster NGC 6705 to be mildly $\alpha$-enhanced. We examined this possibility via an independent chemical abundance analysis for 11 red-giant members of NGC 6705. The…
Recent observations have shown that a growing number of the most massive Galactic globular clusters contain multiple populations of stars with different [Fe/H] and neutron-capture element abundances. NGC 6273 has only recently been…
The halo and disc globular cluster population can be used as a tracer of the primordial epochs of the Milky Way formation. In this work, literature data of globular clusters ages, chemical abundances, and structural parameters are studied,…
Aims. We aim to investigate the stellar population properties, ages, and metal content of the globular clusters (GCs) in NGC 3311, the central galaxy of the Hydra I cluster, to better constrain its evolution history. Methods. We used…
In this paper, we are exploring the properties of old, metal-poor globular clusters in galaxies. We investigate whether their properties are related to the properties of their host galaxies, and whether we can constrain their formation. The…
