Two-dimensional non-LTE \ion{O}{I} 777\,nm line formation in radiation hydrodynamics simulations of Cepheid atmospheres

V. Vasilyev, A. M. Amarsi, H. -G. Ludwig +1

Oxygen abundance measurements are important for understanding stellar structure and evolution. Measured in Cepheids, they further provide clues on the metallicity gradient and chem…

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.…

Spectroscopic properties of a two-dimensional time-dependent Cepheid model II. Determination of stellar parameters and abundances

V. Vasilyev, H. -G. Ludwig, B. Freytag +2

Standard spectroscopic analyses of variable stars are based on hydrostatic one-dimensional model atmospheres. This quasi-static approach has theoretically not been validated. We ai…

Constraining the Thin Disc Initial Mass Function using Galactic Classical Cepheids

R. Mor, A. C. Robin, F. Figueras +1

Context: The Initial Mass Function (IMF) plays a crucial role on galaxy evolution and its implications on star formation theory make it a milestone for the next decade. It is in th…

The episodic Star Formation History of the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

T. J. L. de Boer, E. Tolstoy, B. Lemasle +5

We present deep photometry of the Carina dwarf Spheroidal galaxy in the B,V filters from CTIO/MOSAIC, out to and beyond the tidal radius. The accurately calibrated photometry is co…

VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy of Red Giant Branch stars in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy

B. Lemasle, V. Hill, E. Tolstoy +6

The ages of individual Red Giant Branch stars (RGB) can range from 1 Gyr old to the age of the Universe, and it is believed that the abundances of most chemical elements in their p…
