Milky-Way-like stars in a galaxy core 8 billion years ago revealed by gravitational lensing

Quirino D'Amato, Filippo Mannucci, Alessandro Sonnenfeld +40

The assembly of stellar-dominated cores in elliptical galaxies is key to understanding how cosmic structures evolved. Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into the nature o…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C--MetaLL) survey: VIII. High-Resolution IGRINS Spectroscopy of 23 Classical Cepheids: Validating NIR Abundances

G. Catanzaro, A. Bhardwaj, V. Ripepi +8

Context. While most chemical abundance studies of Cepheids rely on optical spectroscopy, near-infrared (NIR) observations offer advantages in terms of reduced extinction and access…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C- MetaLL) survey: VIII: Spectroscopic detection of rare earth dysprosium, erbium, lutetium and thorium in Classical Cepheids

E. Trentin, G. Catanzaro, V. Ripepi +11

Classical Cepheids are among the most important distance calibrators thanks to the correlation between their period and luminosity, and play a crucial role in the calibration as th…

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…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C- MetaLL) survey: VI: Radial abundance gradients of 29 chemical species in the Milky Way Disk

E. Trentin, G. Catanzaro, V. Ripepi +9

Classical Cepheids (DCEPs) are crucial for calibrating the extragalactic distance ladder, ultimately enabling the determination of the Hubble constant through the PL and PW relatio…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C-MetaLL) Survey. V. New multiband (grizJHKs) Cepheid light curves and period-luminosity relations

A. Bhardwaj, V. Ripepi, V. Testa +8

We present homogeneous multiband (grizJHKs) time-series observations of 78 Cepheids including 49 fundamental mode variables and 29 first-overtone mode variables. These observations…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C- MetaLL) survey: IV. The metallicity dependence of Cepheid Period-Luminosity relations

E. Trentin, V. Ripepi, R. Molinaro +10

Classical Cepheids (DCEPs) play a fundamental role in the calibration of the extra-galactic distance ladder which eventually leads to the determination of the Hubble constant(…

V363 Cas: a new lithium rich Galactic Cepheid

G. Catanzaro, V. Ripepi, G. Clementini +8

Classical Cepheids (DCEPs) are important astrophysical objects not only as standard candles in the determination of the cosmic distance ladder, but also as a testbed for the stella…

Globular Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds.II: IR-Array Photometry for 12 Globulars and Contributions to the Integrated Cluster Light

F. R. Ferraro, F. Fusi Pecci, V. Testa +4

We report the results of the observations in the JHK bands of 12 globular clusters in the LMC, and present CMDs down to K=16 for about 450 stars. We merge the data with the BV ones…
