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…
Gaia Data Release 1. Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties
Gaia Collaboration, A. G. A. Brown, A. Vallenari +5
At about 1000 days after the launch of Gaia we present the first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1, consisting of astrometry and photometry for over 1 billion sources brighter than magni…
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…
Accurate dynamical mass determination of a classical Cepheid in an eclipsing binary system
G. Pietrzynski, I. B. Thompson, W. Gieren +5
Stellar pulsation theory provides a means of determining the masses of pulsating classical Cepheid supergiant - it is the pulsation that causes their luminosity to vary. Such pulsa…
The Stellar Structures around Disk Galaxies
I. Drozdovsky, N. Tikhonov, A. Aparicio +6
We present a brief summary of our current results on the stellar distribution and population gradients of the resolved stars in the surroundings of ~50 nearby disk galaxies, observ…
