Mira variables in the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc: discovery and classification
Jason L. Sanders, Noriyuki Matsunaga, Daisuke Kawata +3
The properties of the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc give crucial information on the epoch of bar formation. Mira variables are promising bright candidates to study the nuclear s…
Survey of near-infrared diffuse interstellar bands in and bands. I. Newly identified bands
Satoshi Hamano, Naoto Kobayashi, Hideyo Kawakita +12
We searched for diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in the 0.911.33 m region by analyzing the near-infrared (NIR) high-resolution ( and 28,000) spectra of 31 redden…
A new and homogeneous metallicity scale for Galactic classical Cepheids II. The abundance of iron and alpha elements
R. da Silva, J. Crestani, G. Bono +18
Classical Cepheids are the most popular distance indicators and tracers of young stellar populations. The key advantage is that they are bright and they can be easily identified in…
A Very Metal-poor RR Lyrae Star with a Disk Orbit Found in the Solar Neighborhood
Noriyuki Matsunaga, Akinori Itane, Kohei Hattori +28
Metal-deficient stars are important tracers for understanding the early formation of the Galaxy. Recent large-scale surveys with both photometric and spectroscopic data have report…
