Description
Six CCD frames for two fields in the area of the rich, presumably old, and unstudied open cluster IC 1311 have been obtained in the BVR bands. The photometric analysis leads to an estimated age of between 1 Gyr (standard models) and 2 Gyr (overshooting models), placing the cluster at a distance of about 4.8 kpc from the sun. Comparison of the observational color-magnitude diagram (CMD) with model isochrones produces a good fit for a metallicity of Z = 0.006-0.008. Some morphological features displayed by the CMD of this cluster are better understood in terms of convective overshooting rather than by classical theories. The location of IC 1311 on the age-metallicity diagram suggests an ecological environment for its formation more similar to that found in the LMC than in the solar vicinity.

    The discovery space of ELT-ANDES. Stars and stellar populations

    The ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (ANDES) is the optical and near-infrared high-resolution echelle spectrograph envisioned for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). We present a selection of science cases, supported by new calculations and simulations, where ANDES could enable major advances in the fields of stars and stellar

    Euclid preparation. XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

    This work considers which higher order modeling effects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter inferences from Euclid. We computed the values of these higher order effects using analytic

    The compact multi-planet system GJ 9827 revisited with ESPRESSO★

    GJ 9827 is a bright, nearby K7V star orbited by two super-Earths and one mini-Neptune on close-in orbits. The system was first discovered using K2 data and then further characterized by other spectroscopic and photometric instruments. Previous literature studies provide several mass measurements for the three planets, however, with large variations
