Theoretical RR Lyrae Instability Strip from MESA-RSP Pulsation models and updated BaSTI Evolutionary Tracks

M. Deka, M. Marconi, R. Molinaro +6

RR Lyraes (RRLs) are important tracers of old stellar populations and crucial distance indicators. To complement large variability surveys such as Gaia and Rubin-LSST, the topology…

Deep VISTA observations of the Magellanic Clouds (VMCDeep)

M. -R. L. Cioni, A. O. Omkumar, N. J. G. Cross +28

The central regions of galaxies challenge observers with a high density of stars, gas and dust. The LMC hosts a dense stellar bar whereas the SMC hosts a dense core, which have elu…

AGILE: an end-to-end Rubin-LSST simulation of AGNs, galaxies, and stars I. Software description and first data release

A. Viitanen, A. Bongiorno, I. Saccheo +37

Contemporary large-scale surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and Euclid present an unprecedented discovery potential for studying A…

STEP survey: III. STEPping stones between the clouds: the star formation history of the Magellanic Bridge

F. Ficara, V. Ripepi, M. Cignoni +8

The Magellanic Clouds (MCs) offer a unique laboratory for studying galaxy interaction and the evolution of dwarf galaxies. By investigating when and how stars formed, the star form…

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…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C--MetaLL) survey: VIII. High-Resolution IGRINS Spectroscopy of 23 Classical Cepheids: Validating NIR Abundances

G. Catanzaro, A. Bhardwaj, V. Ripepi +8

Context. While most chemical abundance studies of Cepheids rely on optical spectroscopy, near-infrared (NIR) observations offer advantages in terms of reduced extinction and access…
