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…
The elderly among the oldest: new evidence for extremely metal-poor RR Lyrae stars
Valentina D'Orazi, Vittorio F. Braga, Giuseppe Bono +21
We performed a detailed spectroscopic analysis of three extremely metal-poor RR Lyrae stars, exploring uncharted territories at these low metallicities for this class of stars. Usi…
The JWST Galactic Center Survey -- A White Paper
Rainer Schoedel, Steve Longmore, Jonny Henshaw +111
The inner hundred parsecs of the Milky Way hosts the nearest supermassive black hole, largest reservoir of dense gas, greatest stellar density, hundreds of massive main and post ma…
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…
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…
Evolutionary and pulsation properties of Type II Cepheids
G. Bono, V. F. Braga, G. Fiorentino +7
We discuss the observed pulsation properties of Type II Cepheids (TIICs) in the Galaxy and Magellanic Clouds. The period (P) distributions, luminosity amplitudes and population rat…
