Descripción
CCD photometry of faint stars in the globular cluster M3 is presented. The observations reach down to V equal to about 23 mag, with a sample of approximately 5000 stars. The resulting color magnitude diagram has a turn-off significantly redder than those obtained in previous studies. Age and distance are derived by fitting the observed mean line to the theoretical isochrones by Chieffi and Straniero (1989). The dependence on the assumed metallicity and color excess values is studied in some detail. In general, theoretical and observed loci are in excellent agreement yielding (m-M)v from 14.85 to 14.93 mag) and t from 16 to 19 Gyr, depending on the different assumptions about reddening and metallicity. Finally, the luminosity function (LF) is presented. When incompletenesses are taken into account, the observed LF appears in good agreement with the curve predicted by theoretical models computed assuming a mass function with alpha = 2.5.

    Stellar halo density with LAMOST K and M giants

    Aims: We derive the morphology of the stellar component in the outer halo volume, and search for possible overdensities due to substructures therein. Methods: We made use of some of the data releases of the spectroscopic survey LAMOST DR8-DR9 in tandem with distance determinations for two subsamples, that is, of K-giants and M-giants, respectively

    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 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
