The aim of this paper is to quantify the amplitude of the predicted plateau in [α/Fe] ratios associated with the most metal-poor stars of a galaxy. We assume that the initial mass function (IMF) in galaxies is steeper ...

The distribution of stars and stellar remnants within globular clusters holds clues about their formation and long-term evolution. In this work, we infer best-fitting multimass models for a number of Milky Way globular ...
