New Near-Infrared light-curve templates for RR Lyrae variables
V. F. Braga, P. B. Stetson, G. Bono +34
We provide homogeneous optical (UBVRI) and near-infrared (JHK) time series photometry for 254 cluster (omega Cen, M4) and field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables. We ended up with more than…
unVEil the darknesS of The gAlactic buLgE (VESTALE)
G. Bono, M. Dall'Ora, M. Fabrizio +55
The main aim of this experiment is to provide a complete census of old (t > 10 Gyr, RR Lyrae, type II Cepheids, red horizontal branch), intermediate age (red clump, Miras) and youn…
On a new method to estimate distance, reddening and metallicity of RR Lyrae stars using optical/near-infrared (,,,,,) mean magnitudes: Centauri as a first test case
G. Bono, G. Iannicola, V. F. Braga +26
We developed a new approach to provide accurate estimates of metal content, reddening and true distance modulus of RR Lyrae stars (RRLs). The method is based on homogeneous optical…
Chemical Compositions of Field and Globular Cluster RR Lyrae Stars: I. NGC 3201
D. Magurno, C. Sneden, V. F. Braga +7
We present a detailed spectroscopic analysis of horizontal branch stars in the globular cluster NGC 3201. We collected optical (4580-5330 A), high resolution (~34,000), high signal…
On the chemical abundances of Miras in clusters: V1 in the metal-rich globular NGC 5927
V. D'Orazi, D. Magurno, G. Bono +50
We present the first spectroscopic abundance determination of iron, alpha-elements (Si, Ca and Ti) and sodium for the Mira variable V1 in the metal-rich globular cluster NGC 5927.…
On the RR Lyrae stars in globulars: V. the complete Near-Infrared (JHKs) census of omega Centauri RR Lyrae variables
V. F. Braga, P. B. Stetson, G. Bono +35
We present a new complete Near-Infrared (NIR, ) census of RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) in the globular Cen (NGC 5139). We collected 15,472 images with 4-8m class telesc…
