New Optical and Mid-Infrared RR Lyrae Period-Luminosity-Metallicity Relations for Precision Distances and Metallicity Distributions in the Magellanic Clouds

Clara E. Martínez-Vázquez, Joseph P. Mullen, Massimo Marengo +11

RR Lyrae (RRL) stars, thanks to the existence of their period-luminosity relations, have been widely used as primary standard candles within the Milky Way and the Local Group of ga…

On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes:. IX. Radial velocities

K. Baeza-Villagra, V. F. Braga, M. Fabrizio +25

We present the largest and most homogeneous catalog of radial velocity (RV) measurements for field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables, based on both proprietary and publicly available spectr…

On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes -- VIII. Early Formation of the Galactic Spheroid

G. Bono, V. F. Braga, M. Fabrizio +54

We introduce a new photometric catalog of RR Lyrae variables (RRLs, 300,000) mainly based on data available in public datasets. We also present the largest and most homogeneo…

The dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. II. Young, intermediate and old stellar populations: comparison between theory and observations

Maria Tantalo, Giuseppe Bono, Maurizio Salaris +14

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the stellar content in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 by comparing stellar evolution models and observations in colo…

The elderly among the oldest: new evidence for extremely metal-poor RR Lyrae stars

Valentina D'Orazi, Vittorio F. Braga, Giuseppe Bono +21

We performed a detailed spectroscopic analysis of three extremely metal-poor RR Lyrae stars, exploring uncharted territories at these low metallicities for this class of stars. Usi…

On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes VII. light curve templates in the LSST photometric system

V. F. Braga, M. Monelli, M. Dall'Ora +5

The \textit{Vera C. Rubin} Observatory will start operations in 2025. During the first two years, too few visits per target per band will be available, meaning that mean magnitude…
