Deep VLT photometry of the faint stellar system in the Large Magellanic Cloud periphery YMCA-1
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +11
We present FORS2@VLT follow-up photometry of YMCA-1, a recently discovered stellar system located 13\degr~from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) center. The deep color-magnitude dia…
Discovery of NES, an extended tidal structure in the North-East of the Large Magellanic Cloud
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +4
We report on the discovery of a new diffuse stellar sub-structure protruding for 5 degrees from the North-Eastern rim of the LMC disc. The structure, that we dub North-East Structu…
Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C-MetaLL) survey: I. HARPS-N@TNG spectroscopy of 47 Classical Cepheid and 1 BL Her variables
V. Ripepi, G. Catanzaro, R. Molinaro +11
Classical Cepheids (DCEPs) are the most important primary indicators of the extragalactic distance scale. Establishing the dependence on metallicity of their period--luminosity and…
STEP Survey II: Structural Analysis of 170 star clusters in the SMC
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +9
We derived surface brightness profiles in the \emph{g} band for 170 Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) star clusters (SCs) mainly located in the central region of the galaxy. We provide…
YMCA-1: a new remote star cluster of the Milky Way?
M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +11
We report the possible discovery of a new stellar system (YMCA-1), identified during a search for small scale overdensities in the photometric data of the YMCA survey. The object's…
A theoretical scenario for Galactic RR Lyrae in the Gaia database: constraints on the parallax offset
Marcella Marconi, Roberto Molinaro, Vincenzo Ripepi +5
On the basis of an extended set of nonlinear convective RR Lyrae pulsation models we derive the first theoretical light curves in the Gaia bands and the corresponding intensity-wei…
