    On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. II. A New ΔS Calibration to Estimate Their Metallicity
    We performed the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic survey of field RR Lyraes (RRLs). We secured ≍6300 high-resolution (HR, R ∼ 35,000) spectra for 143...

    On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. III. The α-element Abundances
    We provide the largest and most homogeneous sample of α-element (Mg, Ca, Ti) and iron abundances for field RR Lyrae (RRLs; 162 variables) by using high...
  • Publication
    On the Use of Field RR Lyrae as Galactic Probes. V. Optical and Radial Velocity Curve Templates
    We collected the largest spectroscopic catalog of RR Lyrae (RRLs) including ≍20,000 high-, medium-, and low-resolution spectra for ≍10,000 RRLs. We provide the...

    On the Use of Field RR Lyrae As Galactic Probes: IV. New Insights Into and Around the Oosterhoff Dichotomy
    We discuss the largest and most homogeneous spectroscopic data set of field RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) available to date. We estimated abundances using both high...

    On the use of field RR Lyrae as Galactic probes: VII. Light curve templates in the LSST photometric system
    Context. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will start operations in 2025. During its first two years, too few visits per target per band will be available, meaning...
  • Publication
    On the use of photometric redshifts for X-ray selected AGNs
    In this paper we present photometric redshift estimates for a sample of X-ray selected sources detected in the wide-field ( 2 deg^2), bright [ f_X(0.5{-}8 keV)...
  • Publication
    On the use of the Fourier transform to determine the projected rotational velocity of line-profile variable B stars
    Context. The Fourier transform method is a popular tool for deriving the rotational velocities of stars from their spectral line profiles. However, its domain...
  • Publication
    On the Use of the Index N2 to Derive the Metallicity in Metal-poor Galaxies
    The N2 index ([N II] λ6584/Hα) is used to determine emission line galaxy metallicities at all redshifts, including high redshift, where galaxies tend to be...
  • Publication
    On the validity of quasi-linear kinematic mean-field electrodynamics in astrophysical flows
    Mean-field theory in its kinematic form with the quasi-linear approximation is widely used for the modelling of the transport of weak magnetic fields in...
