Spectroscopic data of two relatively [O III]-luminous -PNe have been obtained with the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias. M174 and M2496 are each ˜1 degree from...
Metallicities and Kinematics for Dwarf Spheroidals in the Local Group
We present the first results of CaII triplet observations from VLT/FLAMES for Sculptor, Fornax and Sextans dSphs. For each galaxy, we obtained accurate velocity...
Metallicity dependence of some parameters of Cepheids
Dependence of phenomenological properties of Cepheids on the heavy element abundance is studied. It is found that the amplitude of the pulsation depends on the...
Metallicity Distribution of Galactic Halo Field RR Lyræ, and the Effect of Metallicity on Their Pulsation Properties
We present our analysis of a large sample (over 150k) of candidate Galactic RR Lyrae (RRL) stars for which we derived high quality photometry at UV, optical and...
Metallicity Distribution of Red Giants in the Transition-Type Local Group Galaxy LGS 3
We propose to use GMOS-N in MOS mode to obtain metallicities for roughly 100 red giant stars in the nearby (770 kpc) dwarf galaxy LGS 3. We have obtained deep...
Metallicity effects in the chemical evolution from AGB stars to PNe
We present the main results derived from a chemical abundance analysis carried out on a large sample of massive galactic O-rich AGB stars (M > 3-4 M_&sun;)...
We present a study of the metallicity of 20268 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey—Data Release 6 (SDSS-DR6)—using the R 23 method, and derive analytical...
Metallicity Estimation Using N2 Method with OSIRIS
The OTELO (OSIRIS Tunable Emission Line Object Survey project) is an emission line survey using the OSIRIS Tunable Filters on the GTC 10.4m telescope (Cepa et...
