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 ...

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 ...

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

Pulsating stars in ω Centauri. Near-IR properties and period-luminosity relations
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 ω Centauri (NGC 5139) contains many variable stars of different types, including the pulsating type II Cepheids, RR Lyrae and SX Phoenicis stars. We carried out a deep, wide-field, near-infrared (IR) variability survey of ω Cen, using the VISTA telescope.

Progress report on the K2 RR Lyrae survey
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 70-90-day continuous coverage will allow us to investigate the light variation of these galactic structure tracer ...

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.

RR Lyrae binary systems in the Galactic bulge
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 The possibility of a direct mass measurement of RR Lyrae variable stars in binary systems has remained elusive for many years, due to the apparent paucity of such systems.

Analysis of pulsating variable stars using the visibility graph algorithm
PLoS ONE, 2021 We study the light curves of pulsating variable stars using a complex network approach to build visibility graphs. We consider various types of variables stars (e.g., Cepheids, δ Scuti, RR Lyrae), build two types of graphs (the normal visibility graph ...

Variability in NGC 3201 Giant Stars
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present the analysis of 510 light curves in V and I bands of 255 giant stars in the globular cluster NGC 3201. Our aim is to expand the sample of new types of variables reported in a previous study. These variables show a short period ( P _V < 0.6 day)
