STEP survey: III. STEPping stones between the clouds: the star formation history of the Magellanic Bridge
F. Ficara, V. Ripepi, M. Cignoni +8
The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) offer a unique laboratory for studying galaxy interaction and the evolution of dwarf galaxies. By investigating when and how stars formed, the star form…
The VMC Survey -- LIV. Anomalous Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds Period-Luminosity relations in the near-infrared bands
Teresa Sicignano, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marina Rejkuba +12
Anomalous Cepheids (ACs) are less studied metal-poor pulsating stars ([Fe/H]<-1.5) compared to Classical Cepheids (CCs) and RR Lyrae stars. They follow distinct Period-Luminosity (…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
An optimised tiling pattern for multi-object spectroscopic surveys: application to the 4MOST survey
E. Tempel, T. Tuvikene, M. M. Muru +22
Large multi-object spectroscopic surveys require automated algorithms to optimise their observing strategy. One of the most ambitious upcoming spectroscopic surveys is the 4MOST su…
Cepheid distances based on Gaia and VMC@VISTA observations
V. Ripepi, R. Molinaro, M. Marconi +1
We present new accurate Period-Luminosity (PL) and Period-Wesenheit (PW) relations in the V,J,Ks bands based on a sample of more than 4500 Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud (L…
Spitzer Space Telescope spectral observations of AGB stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy
M. Matsuura, A. A. Zijlstra, J. Bernard-Salas +10
We have observed five carbon-rich AGB stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, using the Infrared Spectrometer on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. The stars were selec…
Chemical abundances in LMC stellar populations I. The Inner disk sample Based on observations collected at the VLT UT2 telescope
L. Pompeia, V. Hill, M. Spite +6
The advent of the new class 8 meters telescopes allows for the first time the detailed study of numerous stars of galaxies other than our own. The Large Magellanic Cloud is one of…
