On the RR Lyrae stars in globulars: IV. Centauri Optical UBVRI Photometry

V. F. Braga, P. B. Stetson, G. Bono +31

New accurate and homogeneous optical UBVRI photometry has been obtained for variable stars in the Galactic globular Cen (NGC 5139). We secured 8202 CCD images covering a time i…

A bag of tricks: Using proper motions of Galactic stars to identify the Hercules ultra-faint dwarf galaxy members

M. Fabrizio, G. Raimondo, E. Brocato +13

Hercules is the prototype of the ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies. To date, there are still no firm constraints on its total luminosity, due to the difficulty of disentangling Herc…
