Classical Cepheid Pulsation Models: IX. New Input Physics
Silvia Petroni, Giuseppe Bono, Marcella Marconi +1
We constructed several sequences of classical Cepheid envelope models at solar chemical composition () to investigate the dependence of the pulsation properties pre…
The Red Giant Branch Luminosity Function Bump
M. Riello, S. Cassisi, G. Piotto +6
We present observational estimates of the magnitude difference between the luminosity function RGB bump and the HB (Delta(bump-zahb)), and of star counts in the bump region (R_bump…
Near-Infrared photometry of LMC cluster Reticulum
M. Dall'Ora, G. Bono, J. Storm +11
We present near-infrared (JKs) time series data of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) cluster Reticulum. The observing strategy and data reduction (DAOPHOTII/ALLFRAME) allowed us to…
RR Lyrae Distance Scale: Theory and Observations
Giuseppe Bono
The RR Lyrae distance scale is reviewed. In particular, we discuss theoretical and empirical methods currently adopted in the literature. Moreover, we also outline pros and cons of…
The Carina Project: II. Stellar Populations
M. Monelli, L. Pulone, C. E. Corsi +12
We present a new (V,B-V) Color-Magnitude Diagram (CMD) of the Carina dwarf spheroidal (dSph) that extends from the tip of the Red Giant Branch (RGB) down to about V=25 mag. Data we…
Field and cluster RR Lyrae stars as stellar tracers
Silvia Petroni, Giuseppe Bono
We present an overview on pulsation properties of RR Lyrae stars in the Galaxy and in Local Group dwarf galaxies. We discuss the key information that RR Lyrae might provide on thei…
