Populations of AGB stars and LPVs in the Galaxy and Local Group

M. A. T. Groenewegen

In this review I will discuss recent developments on the topic of resolved Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and Long Period Variables (LPVs) in our Galaxy, the Magellanic Clouds…

The Metallicity dependence of the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation: methodology and results

Marta Mottini, Martino Romaniello, Francesca Primas +3

We present the results of an observational campaign undertaken to assess the influence of the iron content on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation. Our data indicate that this de…

Determining the Metallicity of Cepheid Stars in the SMC, LMC and the Galaxy

M. Mottini, F. Primas, M. Romaniello +1

The Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation is unquestionably one of the most powerful tools at our disposal for determining the extragalactic distance scale. While significant progress…

Carbon stars in the Local Group

M. A. T. Groenewegen

The current status of carbon stars in the Local Group and beyond, is discussed. Although many carbon stars and late M-stars have been identified in Local Group galaxies, a coherent…
