On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes -- VIII. Early Formation of the Galactic Spheroid
G. Bono, V. F. Braga, M. Fabrizio +54
We introduce a new photometric catalog of RR Lyrae variables (RRLs, 300,000) mainly based on data available in public datasets. We also present the largest and most homogeneo…
Discovery of a dormant 33 solar-mass black hole in pre-release Gaia astrometry
Gaia Collaboration, P. Panuzzo, T. Mazeh +412
Gravitational waves from black-hole merging events have revealed a population of extra-galactic BHs residing in short-period binaries with masses that are higher than expected base…
Gaia Focused Product Release: A catalogue of sources around quasars to search for strongly lensed quasars
Gaia Collaboration, A. Krone-Martins, C. Ducourant +398
Context. Strongly lensed quasars are fundamental sources for cosmology. The Gaia space mission covers the entire sky with the unprecedented resolution of " in the optical, ma…
Oxygen, sulfur, and iron radial abundance gradients of classical Cepheids across the Galactic thin disk
R. da Silva, V. D'Orazi, M. Palla +25
Classical Cepheids (CCs) are solid distance indicators and tracers of young stellar populations. Our aim is to provide iron, oxygen, and sulfur abundances for the largest and most…
On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. VI. Mixed mode RR Lyrae variables in Fornax and in nearby dwarf galaxies
V. F. Braga, G. Fiorentino, G. Bono +11
We investigate the properties of the mixed-mode (RRd) RR Lyrae (RRL) variables in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy by using - and -band time series collected over tw…
Tracing the Milky Way warp and spiral arms with classical Cepheids
B. Lemasle, H. N. Lala, V. Kovtyukh +10
Mapping the Galactic spiral structure is a difficult task since the Sun is located in the Galactic plane and because of dust extinction. For these reasons, molecular masers in radi…
