The Araucaria Project. Distances to Nine Galaxies Based on a Statistical Analysis of their Carbon Stars (JAGB Method)
Bartłomiej Zgirski, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Wolfgang Gieren +13
Our work presents an independent calibration of the J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch (JAGB) method using Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) photometric data and a custom luminosity fu…
The surface brightness - colour relations based on eclipsing binary stars and calibrated with Gaia EDR3
D. Graczyk, G. Pietrzyński, C. Gałan +23
The surface brightness -- colour relation (SBCR) is a basic tool in establishing precise and accurate distances within the Local Group. Detached eclipsing binary stars with accurat…
The Araucaria Project: Deep near-infrared photometric maps of Local and Sculptor Group galaxies. I. Carina, Fornax, Sculptor
Paulina Karczmarek, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Wolfgang Gieren +12
Deep near-infrared - and -band photometry of three Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Fornax, Carina, and Sculptor, is made available for the community. Until now, these…
Metallicities and ages for 35 star clusters and their surrounding fields in the Small Magellanic Cloud
W. Narloch, G. Pietrzyński, W. Gieren +13
In this work we study 35 stellar clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in order to provide their mean metallicities and ages. We also provide mean metallicities of the field…
Towards early-type eclipsing binaries as extragalactic milestones: I. Physical parameters of OGLE-LMC-ECL-22270 and OGLE-LMC-ECL-06782
Mónica Taormina, G. Pietrzyński, B. Pilecki +11
In this first paper of the series we describe our project to calibrate the distance determination method based on early-type binary systems. The final objective is to measure accur…
Candidates for non-pulsating stars located in the Cepheid instability strip in the Large Magellanic Cloud based on Strömgren photometry
W. Narloch, G. Pietrzyński, Z. Kołaczkowski +14
We present candidates for non-pulsating stars lying in the classical Cepheid instability strip based on OGLE photometric maps combined with Strömgren photometry obtained with the 4…
Accurate stellar parameters and distance to two evolved eclipsing binary systems, OGLE-BLG-ECL-123903 and OGLE-BLG-ECL-296596, towards the Galactic bulge
K. Suchomska, D. Graczyk, G. Pietrzyński +15
Aim: Our aim is to obtain high-accuracy measurements of the physical and orbital parameters of two evolved eclipsing binary systems, and to use these measurements to study their ev…
Metallicity estimates of young clusters in the Magellanic Clouds from Stromgren photometry of supergiant stars
A. E. Piatti, G. Pietrzyński, W. Narloch +2
We present results obtained from Stromgren photometry of 13 young (~30-220 Myr) Magellanic Cloud (MC) clusters, most of them lacking in the literature from direct metallicity measu…
The Araucaria Project. Multi-band calibrations of the TRGB absolute magnitude
Marek Górski, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Wolfgang Gieren +10
We present new empirical calibrations of the absolute magnitude of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) in the optical I and near-infrared J, H, and K bands in terms of the (V-K)…
The effect of metallicity on Cepheid Period-Luminosity relations from a Baade-Wesselink analysis of Cepheids in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds
W. Gieren, J. Storm, P. Konorski +14
The extragalactic distance scale builds on the Cepheid period-luminosity (PL) relation. In this paper, we want to carry out a strictly differential comparison of the absolute PL re…
