The PLATO Mission

Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera +842

PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…

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…

On the RR Lyrae stars in globulars: IV. Centauri Optical UBVRI Photometry

V. F. Braga, P. B. Stetson, G. Bono +31

New accurate and homogeneous optical UBVRI photometry has been obtained for variable stars in the Galactic globular Cen (NGC 5139). We secured 8202 CCD images covering a time i…

On the stellar content of the starburst galaxy IC10

N. Sanna, G. Bono, P. B. Stetson +17

We investigate the stellar content of the starburst dwarf galaxy IC10 using accurate and deep optical data collected with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and with the Wide Field Pl…

A pulsational distance to Omega Centauri based on Near-Infrared Period-Luminosity relations of RR Lyrae stars

M. Del Principe, A. M. Piersimoni, J. Storm +15

We present new Near-Infrared (J,K) magnitudes for 114 RR Lyrae stars in the globular cluster Omega Cen (NGC 5139) which we combine with data from the literature to construct a samp…

BASTI: An interactive database of updated stellar evolution models

S. Cassisi, A. Pietrinferni, M. Salaris +3

We present a new database of stellar evolution models for a large range of masses and chemical compositions, based on an up-to-date theoretical framework. We briefly discuss the ph…
