An Endangered National Heritage Site -- The Cape Observatory
Ian Glass
The SAAO Cape Town campus was declared a National Heritage Site in December 2018, just short of its 200th anniversary, but is now in a run-down condition. As the former Royal Obser…
Towards stellar effective temperatures and diameters at one per cent accuracy for future surveys
L. Casagrande, L. Portinari, I. S. Glass +8
The apparent size of stars is a crucial benchmark for fundamental stellar properties such as effective temperatures, radii and surface gravities. While interferometric measurements…
A near-infrared survey of Miras and the distance to the Galactic Centre
Noriyuki Matsunaga, Takahiro Kawadu, Shogo Nishiyama +5
We report the results of a near-infrared survey for long-period variables in a field of view of 20 arcmin by 30 arcmin towards the Galactic Centre (GC). We have detected 1364 varia…
Mid-IR period-magnitude relations for AGB stars
I. S. Glass, M. Schultheis, J. A. D. L. Blommaert +3
Asymptotic Giant Branch variables are found to obey period-luminosity relations in the mid-IR similar to those seen at K_S (2.14 microns), even at 24 microns where emission from ci…
Semi-Regular Variables in the Solar Neighbourhood
I. S. Glass, F. van Leeuwen
Period-luminosity sequences have been shown to exist among the Semi-Regular Variables (SRVs) in the Magellanic Clouds (Wood et al, 1999), the Bulge of the Milky Way galaxy (Glass &…
SRVs in the Solar Neighbourhood

Period-luminosity sequences have been shown to exist among the Semi-Regular Variables (SRVs) of the Magellanic Clouds (Wood et al, 1999), the Bulge of the Milky Way galaxy (Glass &…
