The Carina Project. X. On the kinematics of old and intermediate-age stellar populations
M. Fabrizio, G. Bono, M. Nonino +14
We present new radial velocity (RV) measurements of old (horizontal branch) and intermediate-age (red clump) stellar tracers in the Carina dwarf spheroidal. They are based on more…
The Carina Project. VIII. The α-element abundances
M. Fabrizio, M. Nonino, G. Bono +16
We have performed a new abundance analysis of Carina Red Giant (RG) stars from spectroscopic data collected with UVES (high resolution) and FLAMES/GIRAFFE (high and medium resoluti…
On the distance of the globular cluster M4 (NGC 6121) using RR Lyrae stars: I. optical and near-infrared Period-Luminosity and Period-Wesenheit relations
V. F. Braga, M. Dall'Ora, G. Bono +16
We present new distance determinations to the nearby globular M4 (NGC~6121) based on accurate optical and Near Infrared (NIR) mean magnitudes for fundamental (FU) and first overton…
Variable stars in the ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxy Ursa Major I
Alessia Garofalo, Felice Cusano, Gisella Clementini +6
We have performed the first study of the variable star population of Ursa Major I (UMa I), an ultra-faint dwarf satellite recently discovered around the Milky Way by the Sloan Digi…
Stellar Archaeology in the Galactic halo with Ultra-Faint Dwarfs: VII. Hercules
Ilaria Musella, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marcella Marconi +13
We present the first time-series study of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Hercules. Using a variety of telescope/instrument facilities we secured about 50 V and 80 B epochs. These dat…
Distance to Galactic globulars using the near-infrared magnitudes of RR Lyrae stars: IV. The case of M5 (NGC5904)
G. Coppola, M. Dall'Ora, V. Ripepi +6
We present new and accurate near-infrared (NIR) J, K-band time series data for the Galactic globular cluster (GC) M5 = NGC5904. Data were collected with SOFI at the NTT (71 J + 120…
