Milky Way archaeology using RR Lyrae and type II Cepheids II. High velocity RR Lyrae stars, and mass of the Milky Way
Z. Prudil, A. J Koch-Hansen, B. Lemasle +10
We report the discovery of high velocity candidates among RR~Lyrae stars found in the Milky Way halo. We identified 9 RR~Lyrae stars with Galactocentric velocities exceeding the lo…
On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. V. Optical and radial velocity curve templates
V. F. Braga, J. Crestani, M. Fabrizio +29
We collected the largest spectroscopic catalog of RR Lyrae (RRLs) including 20,000 high-, medium- and low-resolution spectra for 10,000 RRLs. We provide the analy…
On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes: IV. New insights into and around the Oosterhoff dichotomy
M. Fabrizio, V. F. Braga, J. Crestani +30
We discuss the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic dataset of field RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) available to date. We estimated abundances using both high-resolution and low-r…
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-…
Metallicity of Galactic RR Lyrae from Optical and Infrared Light Curves: I. Period-Fourier-Metallicity Relations for Fundamental Mode RR Lyrae
Joseph P. Mullen, Massimo Marengo, Clara E. Martínez-Vázquez +12
We present newly-calibrated period--[Fe/H] relations for fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars in the optical and, for the first time, mid-infrared. This work's calibration datas…
Milky Way archaeology using RR Lyrae and type II Cepheids I. The Orphan stream in 7D using RR Lyrae stars
Z. Prudil, M. Hanke, B. Lemasle +19
We present a chemo-dynamical study of the Orphan stellar stream using a catalog of RR~Lyrae pulsating variable stars for which photometric, astrometric, and spectroscopic data are…
On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. II. A new S calibration to estimate their metallicity
J. Crestani, M. Fabrizio, V. F. Braga +33
We performed the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic survey of field RR Lyraes (RRLs). We secured 6,300 high resolution (HR, R35,000) spectra for 143 RRLs (11…
Follow-up Observations for IceCube-170922A: Detection of Rapid Near-Infrared Variability and Intensive Monitoring of TXS 0506+056
Tomoki Morokuma, Yousuke Utsumi, Kouji Ohta +35
We present our follow-up observations to search for an electromagnetic counterpart of the IceCube high-energy neutrino, IceCube-170922A. Monitoring observations of a likely counter…
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…
Exploring the nature and synchronicity of early cluster formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud V: Multiple Populations in ancient Globular Clusters
Christina K. Gilligan, Brian Chaboyer, Jeffrey D. Cummings +9
We examine four ancient Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) globular clusters (GCs) for evidence of multiple stellar populations using the Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camer…
On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes: I. The Oosterhoff dichotomy based on fundamental variables
M. Fabrizio, G. Bono, V. F. Braga +21
We collected a large data set of field RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) by using catalogues already available in the literature and Gaia DR2. We estimated the iron abundances for a sub-sample…
Are the double-mode bulge RR Lyrae stars with identical period-ratios the relic of a disrupted stellar system?
Andrea Kunder, Alex Tilton, Dylon Maertens +6
Radial velocities of fifteen double-mode bulge RR Lyrae (RR01) stars are presented, six of which belong to a compact group of RR01 stars in pulsation space, with the ratio of first…
Exploring the nature and synchronicity of early cluster formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud IV: Evidence for Multiple Populations in Hodge 11 and NGC 2210
Christina K. Gilligan, Brian Chaboyer, Jeffrey D. Cummings +10
We present a multiple population search in two old Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Globular Clusters, Hodge 11 and NGC 2210. This work uses data from the Advanced Camera for Surveys a…
