Spectroscopic metallicities and first α-element abundances of RR Lyrae stars in Baade's Window
J. Olivares Carvajal, Ã. Rojas-Arriagada, M. Zoccali +10
RR Lyrae stars in the bulge have been reported to be associated with the spheroidal, relatively metal-poor component. They offer a way to trace this component with precise distance…

Unveiling VVV/WISE Mira variables on the far side of the Galactic disk: Distances, kinematics and a new extinction law
Rogelio AlbarracÃn, M. Zoccali, J. Olivares Carvajal +8
The structure and kinematics of the Milky Way disk are largely inferred from the solar vicinity. To gain a comprehensive understanding, it is essential to find reliable tracers in…
