Globular Cluster Distances and Physical Properties from Double- and Fundamental Mode Variables
G. Kovács
We briefly describe a method of obtaining relative intrinsic stellar parameters, such as absolute magnitudes and colors from the light curves of fundamental mode RR Lyrae (RRab) st…
Nonradial Pulsations in Classical Pulsators
G. Kovács
Recent analyses of photometric data on globular clusters and galaxies enabled us to study more closely the long-periodic amplitude/phase modulation (Blazhko effect) in classical va…
The distance modulus of the Large Magellanic Cloud based on double-mode RR Lyrae stars
G. Kovacs
We use double-mode RR Lyrae (RRd) stars from the MACHO variable star database of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to estimate its distance, by utilizing photometric data, linear pu…
The distance modulus of the Small Magellanic Cloud based on double-mode Cepheids
G. Kovacs
We employ the very recent photometric data of the OGLE project together with stellar atmosphere and linear pulsation models to determine the distance modulus of the Small Magellani…
