Milky Way archaeology using RR Lyrae and type II Cepheids II. High velocity RR Lyrae stars, and mass of the Milky Way

Z. Prudil, A. J Koch-Hansen, B. Lemasle +10

We report the discovery of high velocity candidates among RR~Lyrae stars found in the Milky Way halo. We identified 9 RR~Lyrae stars with Galactocentric velocities exceeding the lo…

The PLATO field selection process I. Identification and content of the long-pointing fields

V. Nascimbeni, G. Piotto, A. Börner +26

PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is an ESA M-class satellite planned for launch by end 2026 and dedicated to the wide-field search of transiting planets around…

The all-sky PLATO input catalogue

M. Montalto, G. Piotto, P. M. Marrese +29

Context. The ESA PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) mission will search for terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-type stars. Because of telemetry li…

On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. V. Optical and radial velocity curve templates

V. F. Braga, J. Crestani, M. Fabrizio +29

We collected the largest spectroscopic catalog of RR Lyrae (RRLs) including 20,000 high-, medium- and low-resolution spectra for 10,000 RRLs. We provide the analy…

On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes: IV. New insights into and around the Oosterhoff dichotomy

M. Fabrizio, V. F. Braga, J. Crestani +30

We discuss the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic dataset of field RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) available to date. We estimated abundances using both high-resolution and low-r…

Gaia Photometric Science Alerts

S. T. Hodgkin, D. L. Harrison, E. Breedt +108

Since July 2014, the Gaia mission has been engaged in a high-spatial-resolution, time-resolved, precise, accurate astrometric, and photometric survey of the entire sky. Aims: We pr…
