    • Méndez Bussard, René Alejandro; Ruiz González, María Teresa; Maza Sancho, José; Wischnjewsky, M. (1992-03)
      We analyze the results of a proper motion survey in a couple of ESO R 5° X 5° fields, finding evidence for faint (and primarily red) members of the Hyades and UMa moving groups. By the velocity ellipsoid of the Hyades and ...

    • Bidin, C. Moni; Méndez Bussard, René Alejandro; Moehler, S.; Piotto, G.; Recio Blanco, A.; Momany, Y. (INST THEORETICAL PHYSICS ASTRONOMY, 2006)
      We performed a spectroscopic search for binaries among hot horizontal branch stars in globular clusters. We present final results for a sample of 51 stars in NGC 6752 and preliminary results for the first 15 stars analyzed ...
    • Duffau, Sonia; Zinn, Robert; Vivas, A. Katherina; Carraro, Giovanni; Méndez Bussard, René Alejandro; Winnick, Rebeccah; Gallart, Carme (UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2006-06-10)
      Eighteen RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) that lie in the "12(h).4 clump" identified by the Quasar Equatorial Survey Team ( QUEST) have been observed spectroscopically to measure their radial velocities and metal abundances. Ten ...
