Metallicities of Classical Cepheids in the Inner Galactic Disk
N. Matsunaga, D. Taniguchi, S. S. Elgueta +14
Metallicity gradients refer to the sloped radial profile of metallicities of gas and stars and are commonly seen in disk galaxies. A well-defined metallicity gradient of the Galact…
Astrophysical calibration of the oscillator strengths of YJ-band absorption lines in classical Cepheids
S. S. Elgueta, N. Matsunaga, M. Jian +13
Newly-developed spectrographs with increased resolving powers, particularly those covering the near-IR range, allow the characterization of more and more absorption lines in stella…
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…
Detection of Be II in the Classical Nova V5669 Sgr (Nova Sagittarii 2015 No.3)
Akira Arai, Akito Tajitsu, Hideyo Kawakita +1
We report the new detection of Be II in the ultraviolet spectra of V5669 Sgr during its early decline phase ( and d). We identified three blue-shifted absorption sys…
Absorption Lines in the 0.91-1.33 m Spectra of Red Giants for Measuring Abundances of Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, and Ni
K. Fukue, N. Matsunaga, S. Kondo +13
Red giants show a large number of absorption lines in both optical and near-infrared wavelengths. Still, the characteristics of the lines in different wave passbands are not necess…
Effective temperatures of red supergiants estimated from line-depth ratios of iron lines in the YJ bands, 0.97--1.32 micron
Daisuke Taniguchi, Noriyuki Matsunaga, Mingjie Jian +10
Determining the effective temperatures (Teff) of red supergiants (RSGs) observationally is important in many fields of stellar physics and galactic astronomy, yet some significant…
