The catalogue of radial velocity variable hot subluminous stars from the MUCHFUSS project [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The project Massive Unseen Companions to Hot Faint Underluminous Stars from SDSS (MUCHFUSS) aims to find sdBs with compact companions such as massive white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes.

The Horizontal Branch of the Sculptor Dwarf galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We have performed the first detailed simulation of the horizontal branch of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy by means of synthetic modelling techniques, taking consistently into account the star formation history and metallicity evolution as ...

A spectroscopic study of the open cluster NGC 6475 (M 7) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Aims. Clusters of stars are key objects for studying the dynamical and chemical evolution of the Galaxy and its neighbors, and are the most important laboratories to test the theory of stellar evolution.

Contributions of La Silla instruments to our understanding of stars

open access: yes, 2019
Until the late sixties our knowledge about star evolution essentially rested on the HR diagram of open and globular clusters. Already in the seventies, the early studies with the 40-cm Objective Prism Astrograph at La Silla revealed some striking ...

Ages of Globular Clusters: A New Approach

open access: yes, 2007
We have applied a new method to analyze the horizontal branch (HB) morphology in relation to the distribution of stars near the red giant branch (RGB) tip for the globular clusters M22, M5, M68, M107, M72, M92, M3 and 47 Tuc.

Context. The observed abundance peculiarities of many chemical species relative to the expected cluster metallicity in blue horizontalbranch (BHB) stars presumably appear as a result of atomic diffusion in the photosphere.
