Heavy elements and chemical enrichment in globular clusters
G. James, P. Francois, P. Bonifacio +3
High resolution (R > 40 000) and high S/N spectra have been acquired with UVES on the VLT-Kueyen (Paranal Observatory, ESO Chile) for several main sequence turnoff stars (V ~ 17 ma…
Distance scale and variable stars in Local Group Galaxies: LMC and Fornax
M. Maio, L. Baldacci, G. Clementini +10
We briefly review our photometric and spectroscopic study of RR Lyrae variable stars in the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), that allowed us to reconcile the so-called "sho…
Variable Stars in the LMC: the Photometric Catalogue
M. Maio, G. Clementini, A. Bragaglia +3
New B, V, I photometry was obtained for a sample of 152 variables (125 RR Lyrae's, 4 anomalous Cepheids, 11 classical Cepheids, 11 eclipsing binaries and a delta Scuti star) in two…
Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud: the RR Lyrae stars
G. Clementini, R. G. Gratton, A. Bragaglia +3
(abridged) New photometry and spectroscopy for more than a hundred RR Lyrae stars in two fields located close to the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are used to derive new…
Abundances of light elements in metal-poor stars. IV. [Fe/O] and [Fe/Mg] and the history of star formation in the solar neighborhood
Raffaele Gratton, Eugenio Carretta, Francesca Matteucci +1
The accurate O, Mg and Fe abundances derived in previous papers of this series from a homogenous reanalysis of high quality data for a large sample of stars are combined with stell…
Old Open Clusters as Tracers of Galactic Evolution
A. Bragaglia, M. Tosi, G. Marconi +1
Old open clusters are useful tools to study the Galactic disk properties, both present and past. Populous samples with properties determined both accurately and homogenously are ne…
