Metallicities from high resolution spectra of 49 RR Lyrae Variables
Christina K. Gilligan, Brian Chaboyer, Massimo Marengo +12
Accurate metallicities of RR Lyrae are extremely important in constraining period-luminosity-metallicity relationships (PLZ), particularly in the near-infrared. We analyse 69 high-…
Using classical Cepheids to study the far side of the Milky Way disk: I. Spectroscopic classification and the metallicity gradient
J. H. Minniti, L. Sbordone, A. Rojas-Arriagada +9
The structure, kinematics, and chemical composition of the far side of the Milky Way disk, beyond the bulge, are still to be revealed. Classical Cepheids (CCs) are young and lumino…
Type II Cepheids as stellar tracers and distance indicators
Anupam Bhardwaj, Vittorio F. Braga, Dante Minniti +2
Type II Cepheids are both useful distance indicators and tracers of old age stellar populations in their host galaxy. We summarize near-infrared observations of type II Cepheids in…
Metallicity Distribution of Galactic Halo Field RR Lyrae, and the Effect of Metallicity on their Pulsation Properties
M. Marengo, J. P. Mullen, J. R. Neeley +14
We present our analysis of a large sample (over 150k) of candidate Galactic RR Lyrae (RRL) stars for which we derived high quality photometry at UV, optical and infrared wavelength…
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 VVV Infrared Variability Catalog (VIVA-I)
C. E. Ferreira Lopes, N. J. G. Cross, M. Catelan +17
Thanks to the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) ESO Public Survey it is now possible to explore a large number of objects in those regions. This paper addresses the variabili…
