New Optical and Mid-Infrared RR Lyrae Period-Luminosity-Metallicity Relations for Precision Distances and Metallicity Distributions in the Magellanic Clouds
Clara E. Martínez-Vázquez, Joseph P. Mullen, Massimo Marengo +11
RR Lyrae (RRL) stars, thanks to the existence of their period-luminosity relations, have been widely used as primary standard candles within the Milky Way and the Local Group of ga…
Radial abundance gradients of 18 elements in Galactic open clusters from infrared MWM spectra A detailed analysis of 655 giants in 133 clusters
S. Bijavara Seshashayana, H. Jönsson, V. D'Orazi +3
Open clusters are powerful tools for studying the Milky Way. While large spectroscopic surveys now provide spectra for many cluster members, automated pipelines and heterogeneous m…
Stellar Population Astrophysics (SPA) with the TNG. Beyond the iron peak: Galactic evolution of molybdenum, ruthenium and zirconium through open clusters
Natalia Alvarez-Baena, Valentina D'Orazi, Christopher Sneden +11
Context: Open clusters serve as key laboratories for studying the chemical evolution of the Milky Way. In particular, leveraging these coeval groups of stars to study elements beyo…
The open cluster NGC 2509. Stellar rotation and main sequence turnoff extension from FLAMES spectroscopy
C. Boeche, J. Alonso-Santiago, A. Bragaglia +8
NGC 2509 is a distant (~2.5 kpc) and little-studied open cluster located in the third Galactic quadrant. It is a moderately old cluster, whose age has not yet been precisely determ…
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…
Stellar Population Astrophysics (SPA) with the TNG 23 IR elemental abundances of 114 giant stars in 41 Open Clusters
Shilpa Bijavara Seshashayana, Henrik Jönsson, Valentina D'Orazi +4
Open clusters have been extensively used as tracers of Galactic chemical evolution, as their constituent stars possess shared characteristics, including age, Galactocentric radius,…
