Little Bear’s pulsating stars: Variable star census of UMi dSph Galaxy
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 Recent observations and a photometric search for variable stars in the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy (UMi dSph) are presented. Our observations were taken at Apache Point Observatory in 2014 and 2016 using the 0.5m ARCSAT telescope and the West ...

Double-Mode RR Lyrae Variables: Pulsational Masses Revisited [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1996 Double-mode RR Lyrae variables (i.e. radial variables which are simultaneously pulsating in both fundamental and first overtone modes) appear a fundamental tool for investigating the mass of old Population II Horizontal Branch (HB) stars. The most widespread method adopted for evaluating the masses of these objects is based on the Petersen (1973 ...

CCD SDSS gr Photometry of Poorly Studied Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 We present for the first time CCD SDSS gr photometry, obtained at the Gemini South telescope with the GMOS attached, of stars in the field of the poorly studied star clusters NGC1768, HS 85, SL 676, NGC2107, NGC2190, and SL 866, which are distributed in the main body of the Large Magellanic Cloud.

A Study of Double- and Multi-mode RR Lyrae Variables
Open Astronomy, 2015 We present the results of our new study of known RR Lyrae variable stars. All observations available for these stars in the Catalina Surveys were analyzed, and double-mode variations were identified.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present new empirical infrared period–luminosity–metallicity (PLZ) and period–Wesenheit–metallicity (PWZ) relations for RR Lyae based on the latest Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) parallaxes.

Implications and Applications of Kinematic Galaxy Scaling Relations
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Galaxy scaling relations, which describe a connection between ostensibly unrelated physical characteristics, testify to an underlying order in galaxy formation that requires understanding. I review the development of a scaling relation that (1) unites the well‐known fundamental plane (FP) relation of giant elliptical galaxies and Tully‐Fisher (TF ...

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 We have initiated a large survey with K2 to observe thousands of RR Lyrae stars along the Ecliptic. The high photometric precision and the 80-90-day continuous coverage will allow us to investigate the light variation of these galactic structure tracer ...

Study of the Blazhko Type RRc stars in the Stripe 82 Region Using SDSS and ZTF
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) are pulsating stars, many of which also show a long-term variation called the Blazhko effect which is a modulation of amplitude and phase of the lightcurve.

Three Years of Experience with the STELLA Robotic Observatory
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 Since May 2006, the two STELLA robotic telescopes at the Izaña observatory in Tenerife, Spain, delivered an almost uninterrupted stream of scientific data. To achieve such a high level of autonomous operation, the replacement of all troubleshooting skills of a regular observer in software was required. Care must be taken on error handling issues and on
