Variable stars in Local Group Galaxies -- V. The fast and early evolution of the low-mass Eridanus II dSph galaxy
C. E. Martínez-Vázquez, M. Monelli, S. Cassisi +18
We present a detailed study of the variable star population of Eridanus II (Eri II), an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy that lies close to the Milky Way virial radius. We analyze multi-ep…
Towards Realistic Modeling of the Astrometric Capabilities of MCAO Systems: Detecting an Intermediate Mass Black Hole with MAVIS
Stephanie Monty, Francois Rigaut, Richard McDermid +9
Accurate astrometry is a key deliverable for the next generation of multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) systems. The MCAO Visible Imager and Spectrograph (MAVIS) is being design…
On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. V. Optical and radial velocity curve templates
V. F. Braga, J. Crestani, M. Fabrizio +29
We collected the largest spectroscopic catalog of RR Lyrae (RRLs) including 20,000 high-, medium- and low-resolution spectra for 10,000 RRLs. We provide the analy…
On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes: IV. New insights into and around the Oosterhoff dichotomy
M. Fabrizio, V. F. Braga, J. Crestani +30
We discuss the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic dataset of field RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) available to date. We estimated abundances using both high-resolution and low-r…
Metallicities from high resolution spectra of 49 RR Lyrae Variables
Christina K. Gilligan, Brian Chaboyer, Massimo Marengo +12
Accurate metallicities of RR Lyrae are extremely important in constraining period-luminosity-metallicity relationships (PLZ), particularly in the near-infrared. We analyse 69 high-…
Metallicity of Galactic RR Lyrae from Optical and Infrared Light Curves: I. Period-Fourier-Metallicity Relations for Fundamental Mode RR Lyrae
Joseph P. Mullen, Massimo Marengo, Clara E. Martínez-Vázquez +12
We present newly-calibrated period--[Fe/H] relations for fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars in the optical and, for the first time, mid-infrared. This work's calibration datas…
