On the relative distance of Magellanic Clouds using Cepheid NlR and Optical-NIR PW relations
L. Inno, G. Bono, N. Matsunaga +8
We present new estimates of the relative distance of the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) by using NIR and Optical-NIR Cepheid Period Wesenheit (PW) relations. The relative distances are in…
On the distance of the Magellanic Clouds using Cepheid NIR and optical-NIR Period Wesenheit Relations
L. Inno, N. Matsunaga, G. Bono +8
We present the largest near-infrared (NIR) data sets, , ever collected for classical Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs). We selected fundamental (FU) and first overtone…
The Carina Project. V. The impact of NLTE effects on the iron content
M. Fabrizio, T. Merle, F. Thévenin +21
We have performed accurate iron abundance measurements for 44 red giants (RGs) in the Carina dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy. We used archival, high-resolution spectra (R~38,000) co…
RR Lyrae the Stellar Beacons of the Galactic Structure
Giuseppe Bono, Massimo Dall'Ora, Filippina Caputo +5
We present some recent findings concerning the use of RR Lyrae as distance indicators and stellar tracers. We outline pros and cons of field and cluster RR Lyrae stars and discuss…
On a new parameter to estimate the helium content in old stellar systems
F. Troisi, G. Bono, P. B. Stetson +19
We introduce a new parameter Δξ - the difference in magnitude between the red giant branch (RGB) bump and a point on the main sequence (MS) at the same color as the bump, the "benc…
The Carina Project. IV. radial velocity distribution
M. Fabrizio, M. Nonino, G. Bono +16
We present new and accurate radial velocity (RV) measurements of luminous stars of all ages (old horizontal branch, intermediate--age red clump, and young blue plume, as well as re…
