Stellar Archaeology in the Galactic halo with Ultra-Faint Dwarfs: VII. Hercules

Ilaria Musella, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marcella Marconi +13

We present the first time-series study of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Hercules. Using a variety of telescope/instrument facilities we secured about 50 V and 80 B epochs. These dat…
