Spectroscopically Selected Halo K Giants
The catalog results from a survey for distant Field K giants in the Galactic halo made for purposes of locating a chemically and kinematically unbiased sample out to about 25... -
Late-G giants abundances
Towards clarifying the properties of late-G giants, for which we are currently conducting a planet-search project at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory, an extensive... -
M giants in Cassiopeia
Coordinates and identifications for M-type stars in Cassiopeia Cone search capability for table J/PASJ/33/107/table (Catalog of M-, C- and S-type stars) -
Giant stars in TESS continuous viewing zones
The NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (NASA-TESS) mission presents a treasure trove for understanding the stars it observes and the Milky Way, in which they reside. We... -
Temperature and metallicity scale of cool giants
We present here quantitative diagnostic tools for cool giants that employ low-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy in the K band for stellar population studies. In this study,... -
Stars in the Sagittarius stream
We assemble a catalogue of candidate Sagittarius stream members with 5D and 6D phase-space information, using astrometric data from Gaia DR2, distances estimated from RR Lyrae... -
Study of Lithium-rich giants with GALAH
In this article, we speculate on the possible mechanisms for Li enhancement origin in RGB stars based on a large data set of around 340299 stars collected from the GALAH survey... -
Variables in NGC 3109 dwarf irregular galaxy
In a shallow near-infrared survey of the dwarf irregular galaxy, NGC3109, near the periphery of the Local Group, we have found eight Mira variables, seven of which appear to be... -
Age gradients throughout the Galaxy with LPVs
We assemble the largest sample of oxygen-rich (O-rich) Miras and associated long-period variables (LPVs) to date and highlight their importance for age dating the components of... -
Detecting solar-like oscillations
Detecting the presence and characteristic scale of a signal is a common problem in data analysis. We develop a fast statistical test of the null hypothesis that a Fourier-like... -
Stellar variability in the Galactic Centre
We report the detection of variable stars within a 11.5arcminx11.5arcmin region near the Galactic Centre that includes the Arches and Quintuplet clusters, as revealed by the... -
Red-giant stars classification
Determining the ages of red-giant stars is a key problem in stellar astrophysics. One of the difficulties in this determination is to know the evolutionary state of the... -
Polarimetry of 53 post-AGB stars
We present new optical broad-band (UBVRI) aperture polarimetric observations of 53 post-asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars selected to exhibit a large near-infrared excess. 24... -
Phoenix dwarf galaxy RV and [Fe/H] catalog
Transition type dwarf galaxies are thought to be systems undergoing the process of transformation from a star-forming into a passively evolving dwarf, which makes them... -
Silicate crystallinities of O-rich evolved stars
For decades ever since the early detection in the 1990s of the emission spectral features of crystalline silicates in oxygen-rich evolved stars, there is a long-standing debate... -
VVV high amplitude NIR variable stars
We present the discovery of 816 high-amplitude infrared variable stars ({Delta}K_s_>1mag) in 119deg^2^ of the Galactic mid-plane covered by the VISTA Variables in the Via... -
Red giants in NGC 5286
We present a high-resolution spectroscopic analysis of 62 red giants in the Milky Way globular cluster (GC) NGC 5286. We have determined abundances of representative light... -
Line list for red giants in open clusters
We have observed high-dispersion echelle spectra of red giant members in the five open clusters (OCs) NGC 1342, NGC 1662, NGC 1912, NGC 2354 and NGC 2447 and determined their... -
Spectroscopic study of RGs in the Kepler field
Thanks to the recent very high precision photometry of red giants from satellites such as Kepler, precise mass and radius values as well as accurate information of evolutionary... -
Detailed abundances of 15 stars in NGC 4833
We have observed 15 red giant stars in the relatively massive, metal-poor globular cluster NGC 4833 using the Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle spectrograph at Magellan. We...
