Descripción
The optical warps of NGC 5907 is studied by means of CCD photometry, for the U and I filters, as well as for a narrow band filter centered at H-alpha. The present observations were extended out to about 380 arcsec in the NW side and out to about 348 arcsec in the SE side. The H I warps begin at these galactocentric radii, so that the optical ones are not clearly distinguished. The U warp is larger than the I one in the NW, but this difference is not appreciated in the SE. The disk shows slight corrugations.

    Atmospheric Parameters and Abundances of Cool Red Giant Stars
    Understanding the atmospheric parameters of stars on the top of the RGB is essential to reveal the chemical composition of the Milky Way, as they can be used to probe the farthest parts of our Galaxy. Our goal is to determine the chemical composition of 21 RGB stars with T eff < 4200 K selected from the APOGEE-2 DR17 database using new observations

    The GALAH survey: tracing the Milky Way's formation and evolution through RR Lyrae stars
    Stellar mergers and accretion events have been crucial in shaping the evolution of the Milky Way (MW). These events have been dynamically identified and chemically characterized using red giants and main-sequence stars. RR Lyrae (RRL) variables can play a crucial role in tracing the early formation of the MW since they are ubiquitous, old (t ≥ 10

    The Gaia-ESO Survey: Calibrating the lithium-age relation with open clusters and associations. II. Expanded cluster sample and final membership selection
    Context. The Li abundance observed in pre-main sequence and main sequence late-type stars is strongly age-dependent, but also shows a complex pattern depending on several parameters, such as rotation, chromospheric activity, and metallicity. The best way to calibrate these effects, and with the aim of studying Li as an age indicator for FGK stars
