Final fate of low-mass stars: Hic Sunt Leones We plan to investigate the final evolutionary phases of low-mass stars in Globular Clusters, namely White Dwarfs and the Zoo of binary systems. PI Total time #CoIs, team G. Bono A few nights Rome, Teramo, Pisa collaborators + Stetson (DAO) + ……..
Canonical Evolutionary Phases Iben’s (+ many others) legacy
Exotic objects are in the corner !!!! XVII - Terra Australis Incognita!!
He WDs M=0.3 Mo H-reignition CNO flashes Similar evolutionary times for He WDs & Extreme HBs But significantly longer than CO WDs!!
Zoo of binary systems Verbunt & Lewin (2004) Kong et al. 2006 (NGC288)
Deep photometry (Run A): I~30 1h with S/N~5 • K~29 2h with S/N~3 • Fast Photometry (Run B): I~26 180 sec with S/N~50 • J~26 300 sec with S/N~30
