Abstract: Red clump (RC) stars are reliable standard candles for studying the structure and evolution of the Milky Way. In this study, we present empirical calibrations of RC absolute magnitudes in the Mephisto (v, g, r,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx1481
Abstract: Open clusters have long been used to study the chemodynamical evolution of the Galactic disc. This requires a homogeneously analysed sample covering a wide range of ages and distances. In this pape ... read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnrasl/sly171
Abstract: Red clump stars are commonly used to map the reddening and morphology of the inner regions of the Milky Way. We use the new photometric catalogues of the VISTA Variables in the V´ia La´ctea survey… read more here.
