This is the second in a series of papers presenting a new calculation of the mass of the Galaxy based on radial velocities and distances for a sample of faint 16<B<21.3...

We present coordinates and available photometric information (either from previous or recent broadband UBV observations, and near-infrared photometry from the 2MASS Point Source...

We report broadband UBV and/or BVR_C_I_C_ CCD photometry for a total of 1857 stars in the thick-disk and halo populations of the Galaxy. The majority of our targets were...

We use a sample of blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (Cat. II/294) to explore the structure of the tidal tails from the...

Analyses of the photospheric compositions of the four field RV Tauri stars, EP Lyr, DY Ori, AR Pup, and R Sge, indicate that to varying degrees they have experienced...

We have conducted spectrum analyses of 24 field metal-poor ([Fe/H]<-2) red horizontal-branch (RHB) stars identified in the HK objective-prism survey and 6 such stars in the...

V391 Peg (alias HS 2201+2610) is a subdwarf B (sdB) pulsating star that shows both p- and g-modes. By studying the arrival times of the p-mode maxima and minima through the O-C...

This data set consists of evolutionary sequences from the Zero Age Horizontal Branch (ZAHB) to the point where log L/Lsun reaches 2.25 on the lower AGB. These calculations have...

The Tycho-2 proper motions and Tycho-2 and 2MASS photometry are used to select 97348 red giant clump (RGC) stars. The interstellar extinction and photometric distance are...

We used the light curve archive of the Qatar Exoplanet Survey to investigate the RR Lyrae variable stars listed in the GCVS. Of 588 variables studied, we reclassified 14 as...

We analysed photometry for the up-to-date collection of the first-overtone RR Lyrae stars (RRc; 11415 stars) and double-mode RR Lyrae stars (RRd; 148 stars) towards the Galactic...

Using the data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Gaia satellite, we assemble a pure sample of ~3000 blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars with 7D information, including...

A complete census of the blue horizontal branch (BHB) and blue straggler star (BSS) population within a 10' radius from the centre of the globular cluster NGC 288 is presented,...

We present the analysis of the Blazhko effect - quasi-periodic modulation of pulsation amplitude and/or phase - in the Galactic bulge first overtone RR Lyrae stars (RRc). We...

This paper presents an extensive overview of known and proposed RR Lyrae stars in binaries. The aim is to revise and extend the list with new Galactic field systems. We utilized...

We study the debated contribution from thermally pulsing asymptotic-giant-branch (TP-AGB) stars in evolutionary population synthesis models. We investigate the spectral energy...

We have carried out a search for optically visible post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (post- AGB) stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). First, we selected candidates with a...

We introduce a Bayesian method for fitting faint, resolved stellar spectra in order to obtain simultaneous estimates of redshift and stellar-atmospheric parameters. We apply the...

We present an abundance analysis of 96 horizontal branch (HB) stars in NGC 2808, a globular cluster exhibiting a complex multiple stellar population pattern. These stars are...

We identify 51 blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars, 12 possible BHB stars and 58 RR Lyrae stars in Anticentre fields. Their selection does not depend on their kinematics. Light...
