On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. III. The -element abundances
J. Crestani, V. F. Braga, M. Fabrizio +33
We provide the largest and most homogeneous sample of -element (Mg, Ca, Ti) and iron abundances for field RR Lyrae (RRLs, 162 variables) by using high-resolution spectra. The cu…
An eclipsing binary distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud accurate to 2 per cent
G. Pietrzyński, D. Graczyk, W. Gieren +25
In the era of precision cosmology it is essential to determine the Hubble Constant with an accuracy of 3% or better. Currently, its uncertainty is dominated by the uncertainty in t…
The Araucaria Project. The Distance of the Large Magellanic Cloud from Near-Infrared Photometry of RR Lyrae Variables
Olaf Szewczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Wolfgang Gieren +7
We have obtained deep infrared and band observations of five fields located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) bar with the ESO New Technology Telescope equipped with the…
The Faint Sky Variability Survey I: Goals and data reduction process
Paul J. Groot, Paul M. Vreeswijk, Mark E. Huber
The Faint Sky Variability Survey is aimed at finding photometric and/or astrometric variable objects in the brightness range between 16<V<24 on timescales between tens of minutes a…
