Accurate metallicities of RR Lyrae are extremely important in constraining period-luminosity-metallicity (PLZ) relationships, particularly in the near-infrared...

The outer disk of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is studied in order to unveil clues about its formation and evolution. Complementing our previous studies in...

Using 3D positions and kinematics of stars relative to the Sagittarius (Sgr) orbital plane and angular momentum, we identify 166 Sgr stream members observed by...

Context: The existence in the Milky Way of either a long thin bar with a half length of 4.5 kpc and a position angle of around 45° with respect to the Sun...

We present newly calibrated period-φ 31-[Fe/H] relations for fundamental-mode RR Lyrae stars in the optical and, for the first time, mid-infrared. This work's...

We present new period-ϕ 31-[Fe/H] relations for first-overtone RRL stars (RRc), calibrated over a broad range of metallicities (-2.5 ≲ [Fe/H] ≲ 0.0) using the...

Supernovae feedback driven expansion has proven to be a viable mechanism to explain the average properties, such as size, colour, mass, and internal kinematics...

Detection of complex organic species in space has been one of the biggest challenges of the astrophysical community since the beginning of space exploration...

Aims: We derive the stellar rotation curve of the Galaxy in the range of Galactocentric radii of R = 4-16 kpc at different vertical heights from the Galactic...
