On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes -- VIII. Early Formation of the Galactic Spheroid

G. Bono, V. F. Braga, M. Fabrizio +54

We introduce a new photometric catalog of RR Lyrae variables (RRLs, 300,000) mainly based on data available in public datasets. We also present the largest and most homogeneo…

The dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. II. Young, intermediate and old stellar populations: comparison between theory and observations

Maria Tantalo, Giuseppe Bono, Maurizio Salaris +14

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the stellar content in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 by comparing stellar evolution models and observations in colo…

Differential reddening in 48 globular clusters: An end to the quest for the intracluster medium

E. Pancino, A. Zocchi, M. Rainer +9

For decades, it has been theorized that a tenuous but detectable intracluster medium should be present in globular clusters, which is continuously replenished by the gas and dust e…

Homogeneous photometry VII. Globular clusters in the Gaia era

P. B. Stetson, E. Pancino, A. Zocchi +2

We present wide-field, ground-based Johnson-Cousins UBVRI photometry for 48 Galactic globular clusters based on almost 90000 public and proprietary images. The photometry is calibr…

Multiple populations along the asymptotic giant branch of the globular cluster M 4

C. Lardo, M. Salaris, A. Savino +3

Nearly all Galactic globular clusters host stars that display characteristic abundance anti-correlations, like the O-rich/Na-poor pattern typical of field halo stars, together with…

Weak Galactic Halo--Fornax dSph Connection from RR Lyrae Stars

G. Fiorentino, M. Monelli, P. B. Stetson +7

For the first time accurate pulsation properties of the ancient variable stars of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) are discussed in the broad context of galaxy formation a…
