- ItemMultiple stellar populations in the globular cluster M3 (NGC 5272): a Strömgren perspective(OUP, 2016) Massari, D.; Lapenna, E.; Bragaglia, A.; Dalessandro, E.; Contreras Ramos, Rodrigo Andrés; Amigo Fuentes, PíaWe present Strömgren photometry of the Galactic Globular Cluster M3 to study its multiple generations phenomenon. The use of different colour–magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and especially of the notoriously efficient c y index allowed us to detect a double red giant branch in the cluster CMD. After decontamination from fore- and background sources, the two sequences turned out to be equally populated. The two components also show a bimodal radial distribution well corresponding to that predicted by numerical simulations for clusters living in an intermediate dynamical evolutive state and with a population with modified chemical composition that was born more centrally concentrated than the primordial. The analysis of high-resolution spectra quantitatively demonstrates that the two detected sequences correspond to the first (Na-poor) generation and the second (Na-rich) generation, thus confirming the importance of synergy between photometry and spectroscopy.

- ItemUnveiling VVV/WISE Mira variables on the far side of the Galactic disk: distances, kinematics, and a new extinction law(EDP Sciences, 2024) Albarracín Contreras, Ricardo Rogelio; Zoccali, Manuela; Olivares Carvajal, Julio Ariel; Rojas Arriagada, Alvaro; Minniti, Javier Horacio; Catelan, Márcio; De Leo, M.; Gran Merino, Felipe Eduardo; Contreras Ramos, Rodrigo Andrés; Valenzuela Navarro, Álvaro Enrique Hernán; Salvo Guajardo, Claudio AndrésContext. The structure and kinematics of the Milky Way disk are largely inferred from the solar vicinity. To gain a comprehensive understanding, it is essential to find reliable tracers in less explored regions such as the bulge and the far side of the disk. Mira variables, which are well studied and bright standard candles, offer an excellent opportunity to trace intermediate and old populations in these complex regions., Aims. We aim to isolate a clean sample of Miras in the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey using Gaussian process algorithms. This sample will be used to study intermediate and old age populations in the Galactic bulge and far disk., Methods. Near- and mid-infrared time-series photometry were processed using Gaussian Process algorithms to identify Mira variables and model their light curves. We calibrated selection criteria with a visually inspected sample to create a high-purity sample of Miras, integrating multiband photometry and kinematic data from proper motions., Results. We present a catalog of 3602 Mira variables. By analyzing photometry, we classify them by O-rich or C-rich surface chemistry and derive selective-to-total extinction ratios of A(Ks)/E(J - K-s) = 0.471 +/- 0.01 and A(Ks)/E(H - K-s) = 1.320 +/- 0.020. Using the Mira period-age relation, we find evidence supporting the inside-out formation of the Milky Way disk. The distribution of proper motions and distances aligns with the Galactic rotation curve and disk kinematics. We extend the rotation curve up to R-GC similar to 17 kpc and find no strong evidence of the nuclear stellar disk in our Mira sample. This study constitutes the largest catalog of variable stars on the far side of the Galactic disk to date.
