On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. III. The -element abundances
J. Crestani, V. F. Braga, M. Fabrizio +33
We provide the largest and most homogeneous sample of -element (Mg, Ca, Ti) and iron abundances for field RR Lyrae (RRLs, 162 variables) by using high-resolution spectra. The c…
On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. II. A new S calibration to estimate their metallicity
J. Crestani, M. Fabrizio, V. F. Braga +33
We performed the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic survey of field RR Lyraes (RRLs). We secured 6,300 high resolution (HR, R35,000) spectra for 143 RRLs (11…
On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes: IV. New insights into and around the Oosterhoff dichotomy
M. Fabrizio, V. F. Braga, J. Crestani +30
We discuss the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic dataset of field RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) available to date. We estimated abundances using both high-resolution and low-r…
On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. V. Optical and radial velocity curve templates
V. F. Braga, J. Crestani, M. Fabrizio +29
We collected the largest spectroscopic catalog of RR Lyrae (RRLs) including 20,000 high-, medium- and low-resolution spectra for 10,000 RRLs. We provide the analy…
Milky Way archaeology using RR Lyrae and type II Cepheids I. The Orphan stream in 7D using RR Lyrae stars
Z. Prudil, M. Hanke, B. Lemasle +19
We present a chemo-dynamical study of the Orphan stellar stream using a catalog of RR~Lyrae pulsating variable stars for which photometric, astrometric, and spectroscopic data are…
