TESSExtractor: A web-based interactive tool for light-curve visualisation and period estimation using TESS full-frame images

Javier Serna, Jesús Hernández, Sean P. Matt +23

We present a user-friendly web application that allows users to extract, visualise, and interact with TESS light-curves (LCs) from full-frame images. The service works for any star…

GSpyNetTree-O4: an event validation tool used in the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

Sofia Alvarez-Lopez, Man Leong Chan, Franz S. Herbst +7

The frequent presence of non-Gaussian transient noise, or glitches, in gravitational-wave detector data can affect gravitational-wave searches, parameter estimation, and downstream…

Exploring Galactic open clusters with Gaia. II Dynamical Evolution and Stellar Population Properties in Fifteen Nearby Open Clusters

Jeison Alfonso, Alejandro Garcia-Varela, Katherine Vieira

Stellar mass governs stellar evolution and the distribution of stellar masses plays a central role in the dynamical evolution of stellar clusters. Using high-precision astrometry a…

Exploring Galactic open clusters with Gaia I. An examination in the first kiloparsec

Jeison Alfonso, Alejandro García-Varela, Katherine Vieira

Context. Since the first publication of the Gaia catalogue a new view of our Galaxy has arrived. Its astrometric and photometric information has improved the precision of the physi…

A Gaia astrometric view of the open clusters Pleiades, Praesepe and Blanco 1

Jeison Alfonso, Alejandro García-Varela

Context. Near open clusters as Pleiades, Praesepe and Blanco 1 have been extensively studied due to their proximity to the Sun. The Gaia data brings the opportunity to investigate…

Red Be stars in the Magellanic Clouds?

Katherine Vieira, Alejandro García-Varela, Beatriz Sabogal +2

We revisit the subject of Be star candidates towards the Magellanic Clouds, previously studied by the authors using SPM4 proper motions. We obtain GAIA DR2 parallaxes and proper mo…

Machine learning techniques to select Be star candidates. An application in the OGLE-IV Gaia south ecliptic pole field

M. F. Pérez-Ortiz, A. García-Varela, A. J. Quiroz +2

Statistical pattern recognition methods have provided competitive solutions for variable star classification at a relatively low computational cost. In order to perform supervised…

Proper motion separation of Be star candidates in the Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way

Katherine Vieira, Alejandro García-Varela, Beatriz Sabogal

We present a proper motion investigation of a sample of Be star candidates towards the Magellanic Clouds, which has resulted in the identification of separate populations, in the G…

A Study on the Universality and Linearity of the Leavitt Law in the LMC and SMC Galaxies

Alejandro García-Varela, Beatriz Sabogal, María Ramírez-Tannus

The universality and linearity of the Leavitt law are hypotheses commonly adopted in studies of galaxy distances using Cepheid variables as standard candles. In order to test these…
