Toward constraints on galaxy formation scenarios: stellar properties from Galactic surveys
P. Re Fiorentin, C. A. L. Bailer-Jones, T. C. Beers +3
We present some of the strategies being developed to classify and parameterize objects obtained with spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the RAdial Velocity Experi…
Extracting stellar parameters from observed spectra: the role of cross-correlation and minimum distance methods
Tomaz Zwitter, Ulisse Munari, Arnaud Siebert
One may consider cross-correlation routines applied to stellar spectra as a way to determine not only the radial velocities but also to assess the properties of stellar atmospheres…
Probing Galactic reddening with the 8620 A diffuse interstellar band
S. Vidrih, T. Zwitter
Using the correlation between the equivalent width of the diffuse interstellar band (DIB) at 8620 A and the interstellar reddening reported by Munari (2000) GAIA could directly tra…
Introducing adapted Nelder & Mead's downhill simplex method to a fully automated analysis of eclipsing binaries
A. Prsa, T. Zwitter
Eclipsing binaries are extremely attractive objects because absolute physical parameters (masses, luminosities, radii) of both components may be determined from observations. Since…
SB2 and eclipsing binaries with GAIA and RAVE
U. Munari, T. Zwitter, E. F. Milone
The expected performance of GAIA satellite on eclipsing binaries is reviewed on the basis of (a) combined Hipparcos and ground-based observations mimicking GAIA data harvest, and (…
Spectroscopy, Photometry and Micro-arcsec Astrometry of Binaries with the GAIA Space Mission and with the RAVE Experiment
Tomaz Zwitter, Ulisse Munari
GAIA astrometric mission of ESA will be very efficient in discovering binary and multiple stars with any orbital period, from minutes to millions of years. Main parameters of the r…
