We present results from an ongoing program to probe the dense central parts of Galactic globular clusters using multicolor Hubble Space Telescope images (WF/PC-I and WFPC2). Our sample includes the dense clusters M15, 47 Tuc, M30, NGC 6624, M3 and M13. The two main goals of our program are to measure the shape of stellar density profile in clusters (the slope of the density cusp in post core collapse clusters, in particular) and to understand the nature of evolved stellar populations in very dense regions and their variation as a function of radius. The latter includes studies of blue straggler stars and of the central depletion of bright red giants. Our recent WFPC2 study of M15 is described in detail.

AbstractSpectroscopy and photometry have revealed existence, complexity and properties of the multiple stellar populations (mPOPs) hosted in Galactic globular clusters. However, the conundrum of the formation and evolution of mPOPs is far from being completely exploited: the available pieces of information seem not enough to shed light on these topics. Astrometry, and in particular high-precision proper motions, can provide us the sought-after answers about how mPOPs formed and have evolved in these ancient stellar systems. In the following, I present a brief overview of the observational results on the internal kinematics of the mPOPs in some GCs thanks to Hubble Space Telescope high-precision proper motions.
