Based on a new large, homogeneous photometric database of 34 Galactic globular clusters (GGCs plus Palomar 12), a set of distance- and reddening- independent...
We present accurate relative ages for a sample of 55 Galactic globular clusters. The ages have been obtained by measuring the difference between the horizontal...
Galactic Interstellar Gas Cloud Mass Functions: A Simple Quantitative Approach
We present here a simple approach to understanding the gas cloud mass distribution function by simulating formation and destruction of gas clouds and gas clumps...
Galactic kinematics of Planetary Nebulae with [WC] central star
High resolution spectra are used to analyze the galactic kinematics and distribution of a sample of planetary nebulae with [WR] and `wel' central star ([WR]PN...
Galactic observatory science with the ASTRI Mini-Array at the Observatorio del Teide
The ASTRI (Astrofisica con Specchi a Tecnologia Replicante Italiana) Mini-Array will be composed of nine imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes at the...
Galactic planetary nebulae with precise nebular abundances as a tool to understand the evolution of asymptotic giant branch stars
We present nucleosynthesis predictions (HeCNOCl) from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) models, with diffusive overshooting from all the convective borders, in the...
Galactic planetary nebulae with Wolf-Rayet nuclei. I. Objects with [WC]-early type stars
Spatially resolved long-slit spectrophotometric data for the planetary nebulae PB 6, NGC 2452, NGC 2867, NGC 6905 and He 2-55 are presented. Different knots...
Galactic Populations of Radio and Gamma-Ray Pulsars in the Polar Cap Model
We simulate the characteristics of the Galactic population of radio and γ-ray pulsars using Monte Carlo techniques. At birth, neutron stars are spatially...
The search for structure in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) needs to take into account the Galactic background contribution. The potential of using...
