On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes:. IX. Radial velocities
K. Baeza-Villagra, V. F. Braga, M. Fabrizio +25
We present the largest and most homogeneous catalog of radial velocity (RV) measurements for field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables, based on both proprietary and publicly available spectr…
AGILE: an end-to-end Rubin-LSST simulation of AGNs, galaxies, and stars I. Software description and first data release
A. Viitanen, A. Bongiorno, I. Saccheo +37
Contemporary large-scale surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and Euclid present an unprecedented discovery potential for studying A…
Classical Cepheids in the Galactic thin disk I. Abundance gradients via non-local thermodynamic equilibrium spectral analysis
Antonino Nunnari, Valentina D'Orazi, Giuliana Fiorentino +23
Classical Cepheids (CCs) have long been considered excellent tracers of the chemical evolution of the Milky Way's young disk. We present a homogeneous, NLTE spectroscopic analysis…
New theoretical predictions on Type II Cepheids: towards a self consistent Pop. II distance scale
Marcella Marconi, Roberto Molinaro, Vincenzo Ripepi +7
Type II Cepheids are pulsating stars that can be used as standard candles for old stellar populations due to their characteristic Period-Luminosity and Period-Luminosity-Colour rel…
