A theoretical framework for BL Her stars III. A case study: Robust light curve optimisation in the LMC
Susmita Das, László Molnár, Gábor B. Kovács +8
We carry out an extensive light curve comparison of BL Her stars using observations from Gaia DR3 and stellar pulsation models computed using MESA-RSP with the goal to obtain the b…
VST-SMASH: the VST Survey of Mass Assembly and Structural Hierarchy
Crescenzo Tortora, Rossella Ragusa, Massimiliano Gatto +21
The VLT Survey Telescope Survey of Mass Assembly and Structural Hierarchy (VST-SMASH) aims to detect tidal features and remnants around very nearby galaxies, a unique and essential…
An automated method to detect and characterise semi-resolved star clusters
Amy E. Miller, Zachary Slepian, Elizabeth A. Lada +8
We present a novel method for automatically detecting and characterising semi-resolved star clusters: clusters where the observational point-spread function (PSF) is smaller than t…
Ultra Long Period Cepheids as standard candles from Gaia to Rubin-LSST
I. Musella, S. Leccia, R. Molinaro +10
An analysis of the Ultra Long Period Cepheids (ULPs) properties could significantly contribute to understanding the Hubble constant tension, e.g. the current discrepancy between de…
An "alien" called Oosterhoff dichotomy?
E. Luongo, V. Ripepi, M. Marconi +4
In this letter we investigate the origin of the Oosterhoff dichotomy, considering recent discoveries related to several ancient merging events of external galaxies with the Milky W…
SHARP -- A near-IR multi-mode spectrograph conceived for MORFEO@ELT
P. Saracco, P. Conconi, C. Arcidiacono +50
The Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), thanks to their large apertures and cutting-edge Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) systems, promise to deliver sharper and deeper data e…
