Spectroscopic analysis of the bulge Globular Cluster ESO~456-SC38

Andrea Kunder, Evan Butler

It has been suggested that the oldest stellar populations in the Milky Way Galaxy are tightly bound and confined to the central regions of the Galaxy. This is one of the reasons wh…

The -Process Alliance: Fourth Data Release from the Search for -Process-Enhanced Stars in the Galactic Halo

Erika M. Holmbeck, Terese T. Hansen, Timothy C. Beers +22

This compilation is the fourth data release from the -Process Alliance (RPA) search for -process-enhanced stars, and the second release based on "snapshot" high-resolution ($…

The age of the Milky Way inner stellar spheroid from RR Lyrae population synthesis

A. Savino, A. Koch, Z. Prudil +2

The central kiloparsecs of the Milky Way are known to host an old, spheroidal stellar population, whose spatial and kinematical properties set it apart from the boxy/peanut structu…

On the Metamorphosis of the Bailey diagram for RR Lyrae stars

G. Bono, V. F. Braga, J. Crestani +37

We collected over 6000 high-resolution spectra of four dozen field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables pulsating either in the fundamental (39 RRab) or in the first overtone (9 RRc) mode. We…

The Bulge Radial Velocity Assay for RR Lyrae stars (BRAVA-RR) DR2: a Bimodal Bulge?

Andrea Kunder, Angeles Perez-Villegas, R. Michael Rich +11

Radial velocities of 2768 fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) toward the Southern Galactic bulge are presented, spanning the southern bulge from -8 < l < +8 and -3 < b <-6. Dist…

The RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): Parameterisation of RAVE spectra based on convolutional neural networks

G. Guiglion, G. Matijevic, A. B. A. Queiroz +22

In the context of large spectroscopic surveys of stars, data-driven methods are key in deducing physical parameters for millions of spectra in a short time. Convolutional neural ne…
