Hidden in the Haystack: Low-luminosity globular clusters towards the Milky Way bulge

F. Gran, M. Zoccali, I. Saviane +8

Recent wide-area surveys have enabled us to study the Milky Way with unprecedented detail. Its inner regions, hidden behind dust and gas, have been partially unveiled with the arri…

Using classical Cepheids to study the far side of the Milky Way disk. II. The spiral structure in the first and fourth Galactic quadrants

J. H. Minniti, M. Zoccali, A. Rojas-Arriagada +9

In an effort to improve our understanding of the spiral arm structure of the Milky Way, we use Classical Cepheids (CCs) to increase the number of young tracers on the far side of t…

On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes: IV. New insights into and around the Oosterhoff dichotomy

M. Fabrizio, V. F. Braga, J. Crestani +30

We discuss the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic dataset of field RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) available to date. We estimated abundances using both high-resolution and low-r…

CAPOS: The bulge Cluster APOgee Survey I. Overview and initial ASPCAP results

Doug Geisler, Sandro Villanova, Julia E. O'Connell +39

Context. Bulge globular clusters (BGCs) are exceptional tracers of the formation and chemodynamical evolution of this oldest Galactic component. However, until now, observational d…

APOGEE view of the globular cluster NGC 6544

F. Gran, M. Zoccali, A. Rojas-Arriagada +16

The second phase of the APOGEE survey is providing near-infrared, high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra of stars in the halo, disk, bar and bulge of the Milky Way. The near…

Infrared photometry and CaT spectroscopy of globular cluster M 28 (NGC 6626)

C. Moni Bidin, F. Mauro, R. Contreras Ramos +12

Recent studies show that the inner Galactic regions host genuine bulge globular clusters, but also halo intruders, complex remnants of primordial building blocks, and objects likel…
