Using Type-II Cepheids as Extragalactic Standard Candles: Distances to M31
V. D. Pipwala, H. N. Lala, B. Lemasle +3
Several standard candles have been tested and used to measure accurate extragalactic distances over the past decades. There have been discussions regarding the possibility of using…
Comprehensive study of five candidate delta Scuti-type pulsators in detached eclipsing binaries
T. Pawar, K. G. Hełminiak, A. Moharana +4
Pulsating stars in eclipsing binaries (EBs) provide an excellent opportunity to obtain precise, model-independent stellar parameters for studying oscillations in detail. One common…
Tracing the Milky Way warp and spiral arms with classical Cepheids
B. Lemasle, H. N. Lala, V. Kovtyukh +10
Mapping the Galactic spiral structure is a difficult task since the Sun is located in the Galactic plane and because of dust extinction. For these reasons, molecular masers in radi…
Milky Way archaeology using RR Lyrae and type II Cepheids II. High velocity RR Lyrae stars, and mass of the Milky Way
Z. Prudil, A. J Koch-Hansen, B. Lemasle +10
We report the discovery of high velocity candidates among RR~Lyrae stars found in the Milky Way halo. We identified 9 RR~Lyrae stars with Galactocentric velocities exceeding the lo…
On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. V. Optical and radial velocity curve templates
V. F. Braga, J. Crestani, M. Fabrizio +29
We collected the largest spectroscopic catalog of RR Lyrae (RRLs) including 20,000 high-, medium- and low-resolution spectra for 10,000 RRLs. We provide the analy…
On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes: IV. New insights into and around the Oosterhoff dichotomy
M. Fabrizio, V. F. Braga, J. Crestani +30
We discuss the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic dataset of field RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) available to date. We estimated abundances using both high-resolution and low-r…
Milky Way archaeology using RR Lyrae and type II Cepheids I. The Orphan stream in 7D using RR Lyrae stars
Z. Prudil, M. Hanke, B. Lemasle +19
We present a chemo-dynamical study of the Orphan stellar stream using a catalog of RR~Lyrae pulsating variable stars for which photometric, astrometric, and spectroscopic data are…
On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. II. A new S calibration to estimate their metallicity
J. Crestani, M. Fabrizio, V. F. Braga +33
We performed the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic survey of field RR Lyraes (RRLs). We secured 6,300 high resolution (HR, R35,000) spectra for 143 RRLs (11…
A Plague of Magnetic Spots Among the Hot Stars of Globular Clusters
Yazan Al Momany, Simone Zaggia, Marco Montalto +15
Six decades and counting, the formation of hot ~20,000-30,000 K Extreme Horizontal Branch (EHB) stars in Galactic Globular Clusters remains one of the most elusive quests in stella…
