Submitted to ApJ ABSTRACT Deep near-IR images from the VISTA Variables in the V´ıaL´actea(VVV) Survey were used to search for RR Lyrae stars within 100 arcmin from the Galactic Centre. A large sample of 960 RR Lyrae of type ab (RRab) stars were discovered. A catalog is presented featuring the positions, magnitudes, colors, periods, and amplitudes for the new sample, in addition to estimated reddenings, distances, and metallicities, and measured individual relative proper motions. We use the reddening-corrected Wesenheit magnitudes, defined as WKs = Ks − 0:428 × (J − Ks), in order to isolate bona-fide RRL belonging to the Galaxy Centre, finding that 30 RRab are foreground/background objects. -
Comparing the Properties of Local Globular Cluster Systems
Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 000, 000–000 (2004) Printed 28 August 2018 (MN LaTEX style file v1.4) Comparing the properties of local globular cluster systems: implications for the formation of the Galactic halo ⋆ A. D. Mackey1 and G. F. Gilmore1 1Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0HA Accepted –. Received – ABSTRACT We investigate the hypothesis that some fraction of the globular clusters presently observed in the Galactic halo formed in external dwarf galaxies. This is done by means of a detailed comparison between the “old halo”, “young halo,” and “bulge/disk” sub-systems defined by Zinn (1993a) and the globular clusters in the LMC, SMC, and Fornax and Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We first use high quality photometry from Hubble Space Telescope im- ages to derive a complete set of uniformmeasurements of horizontal branch (HB) morphology in the external clusters. We also compile structural and metallicity measurements for these objects and update the database of such measurements for the Galactic globular clusters, in- cluding new calculations of HB morphology for 11 objects. Using these data together with recent measurements of globular cluster kinematics and ages we examine the characteristics of the three Galactic cluster sub-systems. Each is quite distinct in terms of their spatial and age distributions, age-metallicity relationships, and typical orbital parameters, although we observe some old halo clusters with ages and orbits more similar to those of young halo ob- jects. In addition, almost all of the Galactic globular clusters with large core radii fall into the young halo sub-system, while the old halo and bulge/disk ensembles are characterized by compact clusters. -
Paper Is Aimed at Checking If the Open Cluster Stock 14 Is Such an Ob- Ject

Narwid1 1 Astronomical Institute, University of Wrocław, Kopernika 11, 51-622 Wrocław, Poland e-mail: [email protected] 2 Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia Received June 26, 2013 ABSTRACT We present the results of a photometric variability survey in the young open cluster Stock 14 and the surrounding fields. In total, we detected 103 variable stars of which 88 are new discoveries. We confirm short-period, low-amplitude light variations in two eclipsing members of the cluster, HD 101838 and HD 101794. In addition, we find two new β Cep stars of which one, HD 101993, is also a member. The sample of pulsating cluster members is supplemented by one multimode slowly pulsating B-type star and several single-mode candidates of this type. The other pulsating stars in our sample are mostly field stars. In particular, we found fourteen δ Sct stars including one γ Dor/δ Sct hybrid pulsator. From our UBV photometry we derived new parameters of Stock 14: the mean reddening E(B −V) = 0.21 ± 0.02 mag, the true distance modulus, 11.90 ± 0.05 mag, and the age, 20 ± 10 Myr. Finally, we use the new photometry to analyze changes of the 6.322-d orbital period of the bright eclipsing binary and the member of the cluster, V346 Cen. In addition to the known apsidal motion, we find that another effect, possibly light-time effect in a hierarchical system of a very long orbital period, affects these changes.
