Abstract

The presence of multiple stellar populations is now well established in most globular clusters in the Milky Way. Here we show that the Oosterhoff period groups and the double red clump observed in the halo and bulge, respectively, are another manifestations of the same multiple population phenomenon observed in halo globular clusters. We will discuss the implications of this result on the formation of the halo and bulge of the Milky Way, and on the stellar populations of early-type galaxies. The seminar will last 35-40 minutes (plus questions).See you later in the seminars’ room, floor -1, via Ranzani 1, on time at 14:00.
