Theoretical RR Lyrae Instability Strip from MESA-RSP Pulsation models and updated BaSTI Evolutionary Tracks

M. Deka, M. Marconi, R. Molinaro +6

RR Lyraes (RRLs) are important tracers of old stellar populations and crucial distance indicators. To complement large variability surveys such as Gaia and Rubin-LSST, the topology…

Deep VISTA observations of the Magellanic Clouds (VMCDeep)

M. -R. L. Cioni, A. O. Omkumar, N. J. G. Cross +28

The central regions of galaxies challenge observers with a high density of stars, gas and dust. The LMC hosts a dense stellar bar whereas the SMC hosts a dense core, which have elu…

Classical Cepheids in the JWST and Roman Era: A New Theoretical Framework and its Metallicity Dependence

Giulia De Somma, Marcella Marconi, Vincenzo Ripepi +7

Classical Cepheids are fundamental distance indicators that anchor the cosmic distance ladder through their Period-Luminosity, Period-Luminosity-Color, and Period-Wesenheit relatio…

Large Magellanic Cloud Globular Clusters in the Near-infrared. I. RR Lyrae in Reticulum

Anupam Bhardwaj, Susmita Das, Prashant Nishad +10

Reticulum is an old, metal-poor, and sparsely populated globular cluster in the outer regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and hosts a rich population of RR Lyrae stars. Bei…

Determination of [Fe/H] in Fundamental mode Classical Cepheids from Gaia DR3 light curve Fourier parameters

Roberto Molinaro, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marcella Marconi +9

Estimating the iron abundance ([Fe/H]) of Classical Cepheids (CCs) is crucial both for validating the cosmic distance scale through the Period-Luminosity relation and for tracing t…

Star-Galaxy Classification in Deep LSST Data with Random Forest: A Pilot study on the Data Preview 1 Release

M. Gatto, V. Ripepi, M. Bellazzini +2

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will produce unprecedentedly deep and wide photometric catalogs, enabling transformative studies of faint stell…
