RR Lyrae Stars and Anomalous Cepheids as Population Tracers in Local Group Galaxies

Universe, 2022
We discuss the use and importance of pulsating variable stars as population tracers in Local Group galaxies. Among bright variable crossing the classical instability strip, we mostly focus on RR Lyrae stars and Anomalous Cepheids.

A geometric framework for outlier detection in high‐dimensional data

WIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Volume 13, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023
A geometric framework exploiting the metric structure of a data set allows to (1) conceptualize outlier detection on a general level and (2) to conduct outlier detection in a principled and canonical way in very different high‐dimensional and/or non‐tabular data types such as functions (A.1), graphs (B.1), or images (C.1).

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 ...

Modulation of the Blazhko Cycle in LS Her

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present analysis of the RR Lyrae star, LS Her, and confirm the previously reported modulation to its Blazhko cycles. We performed Fourier analysis on two sectors (Sector 24 and 25) of data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) spanning

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.

PLATO as it is: A legacy mission for Galactic archaeology

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 338, Issue 6, Page 644-661, July 2017., 2017
Deciphering the assembly history of the Milky Way is a formidable task, which becomes possible only if one can produce high‐resolution chrono‐chemo‐kinematical maps of the Galaxy. Data from large‐scale astrometric and spectroscopic surveys will soon provide us with a well‐defined view of the current chemo‐kinematical structure of the Milky Way, but it ...

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.

Catalogue of variable stars in Milky Way globular clusters

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Globular cluster variable stars have been studied for more than a century. In the early investigations, more than 90% of the known variables were of the RR Lyrae type.

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 ...

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
