The potential broader complex linked to the key Cepheid SV Vul

Daniel Majaess, Ignacio Negueruela, Leonid N. Berdnikov +10

A new distance was established to the Cepheid SV Vul () and its host cluster Alicante 13, and is tied in part to deeper UKIDSS-DR6 photometry and Gaia DR3 observatio…

No country for old stars -Spectroscopic confirmation of the first intermediate-age RR Lyrae in the open cluster Trumpler 5

Valentina D'Orazi, Cecilia Mateu, Giuliano Iorio +13

RR Lyrae stars are widely considered tracers of ancient (greater than 10 Gyr), metal-poor stellar populations. However, recent kinematic and photometric studies suggest the existen…

The Gaia parallax discrepancy for the cluster Pismis 19, and separating Scutis from Cepheids

Daniel Majaess, Charles J. Bonatto, David G. Turner +10

Pre-Gaia distances for the open cluster Pismis 19 disagree with Gaia parallaxes. A 2MASS red clump distance was therefore established for Pismis 19 ( kpc), whic…

The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper

Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214

The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…

Using classical Cepheids to study the far side of the Milky Way disk. II. The spiral structure in the first and fourth Galactic quadrants

J. H. Minniti, M. Zoccali, A. Rojas-Arriagada +9

In an effort to improve our understanding of the spiral arm structure of the Milky Way, we use Classical Cepheids (CCs) to increase the number of young tracers on the far side of t…
