We use ASAD2, the new version of ASAD (Analyzer of Spectra for Age Determination), to obtain the age and reddening of 27 Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) clusters...
An empirical approach to the location of the theoretical isochrones in the observational plane
A new empirical calibration of the (B-V) index versus the three fundamental stellar parameters T(eff), (Fe/H), and log g is presented whose range of validity is...
An HST/WFPC2 survey of bright young clusters in M 31. IV. Age and mass estimates
Aims: We present the main results of an imaging survey of possible young massive clusters (YMC) in M 31 performed with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2...
An HST/WFPC2 survey of bright young clusters in M31. I. VdB0, a massive star cluster seen at t ≃ 25 Myr
Aims: We introduce our imaging survey of possible young massive globular clusters in M31 performed with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) on the...
An old, metal-poor globular cluster in Sextans A and the metallicity floor of globular cluster systems
We report the confirmation of an old, metal-poor globular cluster (GC) in the nearby dwarf irregular galaxy Sextans A, the first GC known in this galaxy. The...
An Optical-Near-IR Study of a Triplet of Super Star Clusters in the Starburst Core of M82
We present HST/STIS optical and Gemini/NIFS near-IR IFU spectroscopy and archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of the triplet of super star clusters (A1...
An Overmassive Dark Halo around an Ultra-diffuse Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster
Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have the sizes of giants but the luminosities of dwarfs. A key to understanding their origins comes from their total masses, but...
Analysis and calibration of CaII triplet spectroscopy of red giant branch stars from VLT/FLAMES observations
We demonstrate that low-resolution CaII triplet (CaT) spectroscopic estimates of the overall metallicity ([Fe/H]) of individual red giant branch (RGB) stars in...
Assessing the Stellar Population and the Environment of an H II Region on the Far Side of the Galaxy
We have investigated the stellar and interstellar content of the distant star formation region IRAS 17591-2228 (WISE H II region GAL 007.47+0.06). It is...
