A revisited study of Cepheids in open clusters in the Gaia era

Gustavo E. Medina, Bertrand Lemasle, Eva K. Grebel

In this paper we revisit the problem of identifying bona fide cluster Cepheids by performing an all-sky search for Cepheids associated with open clusters and making use of state-of…

A systematic DECam search for RR Lyrae in the outer halo of the Milky Way

Gustavo E. Medina, Ricardo R. Muñoz, Jeffrey L. Carlin +3

The discovery of very distant stars in the halo of the Milky Way provides valuable tracers on the Milky Way mass and its formation. Beyond 100 kpc from the Galactic center, most of…

Classical Cepheids in open clusters in the era of Gaia DR2

Gustavo E. Medina, Bertrand Lemasle, Eva K. Grebel +1

Classical Cepheids in open clusters are key ingredients for stellar population studies and the characterization of variable stars, as they are tracers of young and massive populati…

The delay of shock breakout due to circumstellar material seen in most Type II Supernovae

F. Förster, T. J. Moriya, J. C. Maureira +35

Type II supernovae (SNe) originate from the explosion of hydrogen-rich supergiant massive stars. Their first electromagnetic signature is the shock breakout, a short-lived phenomen…

The High Cadence Transient Survey (HITS): Compilation and characterization of light-curve catalogs

Jorge Martínez-Palomera, Francisco Förster, Pavlos Protopapas +12

The High Cadence Transient Survey (HiTS) aims to discover and study transient objects with characteristic timescales between hours and days, such as pulsating, eclipsing and explod…

Discovery of distant RR Lyrae stars in the Milky Way using DECam

Gustavo Medina, Ricardo Muñoz, Katherina Vivas +9

We report the discovery of distant RR Lyrae stars, including the most distant known in the Milky Way, using data taken in the band with the Dark Energy Camera as part of the Hi…
