    • Anchoring the distence scale via x-ray/infrared data for Cepheid clusters : SU Cas 

      Majaess, Daniel J.; Turner, D. G.; Gallo, Luigi; Gieren, Wolfgang P.; Bonatto, Charles Jose; Lane, Dave; Balam, D.; Berdnikov, L. (2012) [Journal article]
      New X-ray (XMM-Newton) and JHKs (Observatoire du Mont-Mégantic) observations for members of the star cluster Alessi 95, which Turner et al. discovered hosts the classical Cepheid SU Cas, were used in tandem with UCAC3 ...

    • Anchors for the cosmic distance scale : the Cepheids U Sagittarii, CF Cassiopeiae, and CEab Cassiopeiae 

      Majaess, Daniel J.; Carraro, Giovanni; Moni Bidin, Christian; Bonatto, Charles Jose; Berdnikov, L.; Balam, D.; Moyano, Maximiliano; Gallo, Luigi; Turner, D. G.; Lane, Dave; Gieren, Wolfgang P.; Borissova, Jura; Kovtyukh, Valery V.; Beletsky, Yuri (2013) [Journal article]
      New and existing X-ray, UBVJHKsW(1−4), and spectroscopic observations were analyzed to constrain fundamental parameters for M25, NGC 7790, and dust along their sight-lines. The star clusters are of particular importance ...

    • Investigating potential planetary nebula/cluster pairs 

      Moni Bidin, Christian; Majaess, Daniel J.; Bonatto, Charles Jose; Mauro, Francesco; Turner, D. G.; Geisler, Doug; Chené, André-Nicolas; Gormaz-Matamala, Alex C.; Borissova, Jura; Kurtev, Radostin Georgiev; Minniti, Dante; Carraro, Giovanni; Gieren, Wolfgang P. (2014) [Journal article]
      Context. Fundamental parameters characterizing the end-state of intermediate-mass stars may be constrained by discovering planetary nebulae (PNe) in open clusters (OCs). Cluster membership may be exploited to establish the ...

    • Strengthening the open cluster distance scale via VVV photometry 

      Majaess, Daniel J.; Turner, D. G.; Moni Bidin, Christian; Geisler, Doug; Borissova, Jura; Minniti, Dante; Bonatto, Charles Jose; Gieren, Wolfgang P.; Carraro, Giovanni; Kurtev, Radostin Georgiev; Mauro, Francesco; Chené, André-Nicolas; Forbes, Douglas; Lucas, Philip W.; Dékány, István; Saito, Roberto K.; Soto, M. (2012) [Journal article]
      Approximately 14% of known Galactic open clusters possess absolute errors ≤20% as evaluated from n ≥ 3 independent distance estimates, and the statistics for age estimates are markedly worse. That impedes such diverse ...

    • VVV DR1 : the first data release of the Milky Way bulge and southern plane from the near-infrared ESO public survey VISTA variables in the Vía Láctea

      Context. The ESO public survey VISTA variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) started in 2010. VVV targets 562 sq. deg in the Galactic bulge and an adjacent plane region and is expected to run for about five years. Aims. We ...
