Photometry of a Galactic field at l = 232, b = -6. The old open cluster Auner 1, the Norma-Cygnus spiral arm and the signature of the warped Galactic Thick Disk
Giovanni Carraro, Andre' Moitinho, Manuela Zoccali +2
We perform a detailed photometric study of the stellar populations in a Galactic Field at l = 232, b = -6 in the Canis Major (CMa) constellation. We present the first U,B,V,I photo…
Oxygen, Sodium, Magnesium and Aluminium as tracers of the Galactic Bulge Formation
A. Lecureur, V. Hill, M. Zoccali +5
This paper investigates the peculiar behaviour of the light even (alpha-elements) and odd atomic number elements in red giants in the galactic bulge, both in terms of the chemical…
Transiting extrasolar planetary candidates in the Galactic bulge
Kailash C. Sahu, Stefano Casertano, Howard E. Bond +13
More than 200 extrasolar planets have been discovered around relatively nearby stars, primarily through the Doppler line shifts owing to the reflex motions of their host stars, and…
VLT-UVES abundance analysis of four giants in NGC 6553
A. Alves-Brito, B. Barbuy, M. Zoccali +9
Metal-rich globular clusters trace the formation of bulges. Abundance ratios in the metal-rich globular clusters such as NGC 6553 can constrain the formation timescale of the Galac…
Millimagnitude Optical Photometry for the Transiting Planetary Candidate OGLE-TR-109
Jose Miguel Fernandez, Dante Minniti, Grzegorz Pietrzynski +5
We present precise V-band photometry for the low-amplitude transit candidate star OGLE-TR-109. This is an extreme case among the transiting candidates found by the OGLE group becau…
