Variable stars in Local Group Galaxies -- V. The fast and early evolution of the low-mass Eridanus II dSph galaxy

C. E. Martínez-Vázquez, M. Monelli, S. Cassisi +18

We present a detailed study of the variable star population of Eridanus II (Eri II), an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy that lies close to the Milky Way virial radius. We analyze multi-ep…

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…

DELVE-ing into the Jet: a thin stellar stream on a retrograde orbit at 30 kpc

Peter Ferguson, Nora Shipp, Alex Drlica-Wagner +20

We perform a detailed photometric and astrometric analysis of stars in the Jet stream using data from the first data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey (DELVE) DR…

Metallicity of Galactic RR Lyrae from Optical and Infrared Light Curves: I. Period-Fourier-Metallicity Relations for Fundamental Mode RR Lyrae

Joseph P. Mullen, Massimo Marengo, Clara E. Martínez-Vázquez +12

We present newly-calibrated period--[Fe/H] relations for fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars in the optical and, for the first time, mid-infrared. This work's calibration datas…
