- Description:
- Classical Cepheids are primary distance indicators playing a fundamental role in the calibration of the extragalactic distance scale. The possible dependence of their characteristic period-luminosity (PL) relation on chemical composition is still debated in the literature, and the behavior of these pulsators at very low metallicity regimes is almost unexplored. In order to derive constraints on the application of the PL relation at low metal abundances, we investigate the properties of the few ultra-low metallicity (Z~0.0004) Cepheids recently discovered in the Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy IZw18. To this purpose, we have computed an updated and extended set of nonlinear convective models for Z=0.0004 and Y=0.24, spanning a wide range of stellar masses, and taking into account the evolutionary constraints for selected luminosity levels. As a result, we are able to predict the topology of the instability strip, the variations of all the relevant quantities along the pulsation cycle, including the morphology of the light curves, the theoretical period-luminosity-color, period-Wesenheit, and PL relations at such a low metallicity.

- Description:
- We present the second public data release of the VISTA EXtension to Auxiliary Surveys (VEXAS DR2), where we classify objects into stars, galaxies and quasars based on an ensemble of machine learning algorithms. The aim of VEXAS is to build the widest multi-wavelength catalogue, providing reference magnitudes, colours and morphological information for a large number of scientific uses. We apply an ensemble of thirty-two different machine learning models, based on three different algorithms and on different magnitude sets, training samples and classification problems (two or three classes) on the three VEXAS Data Release 1 (DR1) optical+infrared (IR) tables. The tables were created in DR1 cross-matching VISTA near-infrared data with Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer far-infrared data and with optical magnitudes from the Dark Energy Survey (VEXAS-DESW), the Sky Mapper Survey (VEXAS-SMW), and the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System Survey (VEXAS-PSW). We assemble a large table of spectroscopically confirmed objects (VEXAS-SPEC-GOOD, 415 628 unique objects), based on the combination of six different spectroscopic surveys that we use for training. We develop feature imputation to classify also objects for which magnitudes in one or more bands are missing. We classify in total 90106 objects in the Southern Hemisphere. Among these, ~62.9x10^6^ (~52.6x10^6^) are classified as 'high confidence' ('secure') stars, ~920000 (~750000) as 'high confidence' ('secure') quasars and ~34.8 (~34.1) millions as 'high confidence' ('secure') galaxies, with pclass>=0.7 (pclass>=0.9). The DR2 tables update the DR1 with the addition of imputed magnitudes and membership probabilities to each of the three classes. The density of high-confidence extragalactic objects varies strongly with the survey depth: at pclass>0.7; there are 111/deg^2^ quasars in the VEXAS-DESW footprint and 103/deg^2^ in the VEXAS-PSW footprint, while only 10.7/deg^2^ in the VEXASSM footprint. Improved depth in the midIR and coverage in the optical and nearIR are needed for the SM footprint that is not already covered by DESW and PSW.

- V795 Her differential photometry
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- V-band CCD observations of the cataclysmic variable V795 Her obtained between 2008 and 2010. The observing run on a given night consisted of a dense series of V-band images (exposure time of 20 seconds). Heliocentric Julian Date of each CCD image is given for the center of the exposure. A typical standard deviation of a single measurement of the magnitude of V795 Her on a given CCD frame was about 0.01 mag. GSC 02595-00575 (GSC2.3 N3JJ000148) was used as the comparison star (abbreviated as C) while GSC 02595-00718 served as the check star (abbreviated as C1).

- V1239 Her light curves in quiescence
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The results of a study of the integrated brightness of the SU UMa eclipsing binary V1239 Her are presented. The system was monitored on nine nights in 2013-2014 when the binary was in quiescence. The orbital period is refined (P_orb_=0.100082222(2)d) and the system's light curves obtained. These curves provide evidence for active processes in the system between outbursts: the depths of both minima and the amplitude of the pre-eclipse hump vary, and one of the light curves exhibits no hump at all. The parameters of the accretion disk, hot spot, and gas stream in V1239 Her for several epochs are determined in a "combined" model taking into account the contributions to the total radiation flux from the opaque part of the gas stream and the hot spot on the lateral surface of the disk.

- Description:
- We present new CCD photometric observations of V1044 Her obtained on May 22, 23 and 24, 2015. From our data, we derived five new light curve minimum times. Combining our new results with previously available CCD light minimum times, we derived an updated ephemeris and discovered that the period of this binary system exhibits an oscillation. The cyclic variation may be caused by the light-time effect via the presence of a third body or magnetic activity cycle. We calculated the corresponding period of the third body to be 14.1+/-1.4 years or magnetic cycle to be 12.2+/-0.7 years. We analyzed our new asymmetric light curves to obtain photometric solutions and starspot parameters using the Wilson and Devinney program. The final results show that V1044 Her is a contact binary system with a degree of contact factor f=3.220(+/-0.002)%.

- Description:
- We present the results of the DART imaging and CaII triplet (CaT) survey of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) at ESO. We collected hundreds of low resolution spectra of Red Giant Branch (RGB) stars in the CaT region, using VLT/FLAMES in Medusa mode, with the GIRAFFE spectrograph (grating LR8, resolving power R~6500). We list the results for the targets with a S/N per Angstrom >10 and an error in velocity <5km/s, because we found this to be the minimum for an accurate determination of velocity and equivalent width. We checked the sample to weed out any spurious object (e.g., broken fibres, background galaxies, foreground stars, spectra not consistent with RGBs). We use a 2.5sigma cut from the system velocity to derive which stars are probable velocity members of the Fornax dSph. We transform the equivalent width of the CaT lines of probable velocity members into metallicity ([Fe/H]) using the relation derived by Rutledge et al. (1997PASP..109..907R) and combining the CaT lines as in Tolstoy et al. (2001MNRAS.327..918T). The errors in [Fe/H] are based on S/N computations and adjusted to agree with repeated measurements.

- V, I , and Gunn z imaging of Terzan 4
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We study the globular cluster Terzan 4 projected close to the Galactic center, by means of V, I and Gunn z Colour-Magnitude Diagrams. The images were obtained under exceptional seeing conditions (0.35"-0.55") at the ESO New Technology Telescope equipped with SUSI. We derive a reddening of E(B-V)=2.35 and a distance from the Sun d_{sun}_=8.3kpc for Terzan 4. From the similarity of the VI Colour-Magnitude Diagrams of Terzan 4 and M30, in particular the presence of a blue horizontal branch, it could be as metal-poor as [Fe/H]=~-2.0. It is therefore another blue horizontal branch globular cluster located close to the Galactic center.
