Title: Milky Way old stellar clusters
Date: Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
Time: 15:00
Venue: Villa Bazzoni

Abstract: Globular clusters have recently revealed a more complex nature than usually assumed. In recent years, evidence of peculiar chemical composition and presence of multiple stellar generations has been found, on the basis of spectroscopic and photometric studies. This has important bearings on the cluster formation and early evolution mechanism. I will present the recent observational evidence, concentrating on the old Milky Way globular clusters, and devoting some attention to the Magellanic Clouds clusters and the old Galactic open clusters.
