Probing the evolution of the Omega Centauri's progenitor system
Overview
Photometric Survey: EQSOC is a multi-epoch photometric astronomical survey of short-period variable stars in the Milky Way (b < 16 deg.) using the 1.0/1.5-m Jurgen Stock Telescope/Camera Schmidt, 1.0-m Reflector Telescope of the National Observatory of Venezuela (NOV). From 2010 to 2015, XXXX has obtained 100,000 variable sources in the magnitude range 11 < I < 19 mag, and 12.5 < V < 17 mag. This represents stellar distances up to XXX kpc from the Sun. Spectroscopic Survey: Intensive spectroscopic follow-up observations of short-period variable stars are carried on at CASLEO (Argentina), using the REOSC spectrograph. Spectroscopy allows to measure the stellar atmospheric parameters, individual chemical abundances and radial velocities and therefore, to fully define the motion of stars in the Galaxy.
