    Multi-wavelength Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of Stellar Populations in NGC 288
    We present new UV observations for NGC 288, taken with the WFC3 detector on board the Hubble Space Telescope, and combine them with existing optical data from...

    Multiple Populations in Low-mass Globular Clusters: Palomar 13
    Since the discovery of chemically peculiar stars in globular clusters in the last century, the study of multiple populations has become increasingly important...

    Multiple Stellar Populations in 47 Tucanae
    We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and ground-based imaging to study the multiple populations of 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc), combining high-precision photometry with...

    Multiple stellar populations in Magellanic Cloud clusters - III. The first evidence of an extended main sequence turn-off in a young cluster: NGC 1856
    Recent studies have shown that the extended main-sequence turn-off (eMSTO) is a common feature of intermediate-age star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs)...

    Multiple stellar populations in Magellanic Cloud clusters. II. Evidence also in the young NGC 1844?
    We used Hubble Space Telescope observations to study the young cluster NGC 1844 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We estimated the fraction and the mass...
