White dwarfs in the Capodimonte deep field
R. Silvotti, S. Catalan, M. Cignoni +4
In this article we describe the search for white dwarfs (WDs) in the multi-band photometric data of the Capodimonte deep field survey. The WD candidates were selected through the V…
Disentangling the Galaxy at low Galactic latitudes
M. Cignoni, M. Tosi, A. Bragaglia +2
We have used the field stars from the open cluster survey BOCCE, to study three low-latitude fields imaged with the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope (CFHT), with the aim of better un…
The Galactic Halo density distribution from photometric survey data: results of a pilot study
M. Cignoni, V. Ripepi, M. Marconi +4
Our goal is to recover the Galactic Halo spatial density by means of field stars. To this aim, we apply a new technique to the Capodimonte Deep Field (OACDF, Alcala' et al. 2004),…
Star formation rate in the solar neighborhood
Michele Cignoni
This thesis develops a method for obtaining the star formation histories of a mixed, resolved population through the use of color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). The method is applied t…
Predicted properties of RR Lyrae stars in the SDSS photometric system
M. Marconi, M. Cignoni, M. Di Criscienzo +4
The luminosities and effective temperatures, as well as the whole bolometric lightcurves of nonlinear convective RR Lyrae models with 0.0001<Z<0.006 are transformed into the SDSS p…
Restoring Color-magnitude Diagrams with the Richardson-Lucy Algorithm
M. Cignoni, Steven N. Shore
We present an application of the Richardson-Lucy algorithm to the analysis of color-magnitude diagrams by converting the CMD into an image and using a restoring point spread functi…
Theoretical Color-Magnitude Diagrams and the Star Forming Histories of Interacting Open Multi-population Model Galaxies: Bursts and Busts
G. Valle, M. Cignoni, S. N. Shore
This note presents theoretical color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and metallicity evolution for Galactic multi-population models coupled to stellar evolution models for systems underg…
Galactic Models and White Dwarf Populations
V. Castellani, M. Cignoni, S. Degl'Innocenti +2
We make use of a previous well tested Galactic model, but describing the observational behavior of the various stellar components in terms of suitable assumptions on their evolutio…
The stellar content of the Galaxy: the white dwarf population
M. Cignoni, V. Castellani, S. Degl'Innocenti +2
On the basis of theoretical evolutionary expectations, we develop a Galactic model reproducing star counts and synthetic color-magnitude diagrams of field stars, which include the…
