In the course of a project to study eclipsing binary stars in vinicity of the Sun, we found that the cooler component of LL Aqr is a solar twin candidate. This is the first known s…
Constraining Dust Extinction Properties via the VVV Survey
D. Majaess, D. Turner, I. Dekany +2
Near-infrared color-excess and extinction ratios are essential for establishing the cosmic distance scale and probing the Galaxy, particularly when analyzing targets attenuated by…
A spectroscopic study of blue supergiant stars in the Sculptor galaxy NGC 55: chemical evolution and distance
Rolf Kudritzki, Miguel Urbaneja, Norberto Castro +5
Low resolution (4.5 to 5 Angstroem) spectra of 58 blue supergiant stars distributed over the disk of the Magellanic spiral galaxy NGC 55 in the Sculptor group are analyzed by means…
