RR Lyrae variables in globular clusters and nearby galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 2004
AbstractI point out that the Oosterhoff dichotomy for globular cluster and field RR Lyrae stars may place the strongest constraints so far on the number of dwarf spheroidal-like protogalactic fragments that may have contributed to the formation of the Galactic halo.

Metal‐rich RR Lyrae Variables. I. The Evolutionary Scenario

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1997
This paper presents evolutionary computations which investigate the theoretical predictions concerning metal rich RR Lyrae pulsators found both in the Galactic field and in the Galactic bulge. The main aim of this investigation is to provide a homogeneous evolutionary context for further analyses concerning the pulsational properties of these evolving ...

Faint (and bright) variable stars in the satellites of the Milky Way

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
I describe two ongoing projects related with variable stars in the satellites of the MilkyWay. In the first project, we are searching for dwarf Cepheid stars (a.k.a δ Scuti and/or SX Phe) in some of the classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Our goal is to

Stellar Variability and Distance Indicators in the Near-infrared in Nearby Galaxies. I. RR Lyrae and Anomalous Cepheids in Draco Dwarf Spheroidal

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The Draco Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy is one of the nearest and the most dark-matter-dominated satellites of the Milky Way. We obtained multiepoch near-infrared (NIR, JHK _s ) observations of the central region of Draco dSph covering a sky area of ∼21′
