V659 Cen: System Parameters Updated
Nancy Remage Evans, Charles Proffitt, Pierre Kervella +8
V659 Cen is a classical Cepheid which is part of a multiple system. Previous observations have shown that a hot companion dominates an ultraviolet spectrum and a cooler main sequen…
Mass of Cepheid V350 Sgr Incorporating Interferometry and the Companion Mass
Nancy Remage Evans, Alexandre Gallenne, Pierre Kervella +8
The system V350 Sgr has a classical Cepheid for the primary. Interferometry is presented for the system and the full orbit is determined. The mass of the companion has been determi…
The Components of Cepheid Systems: The FN Vel System
Nancy Remage Evans, Pierre Kervella, Joanna Kuraszkiewicz +8
Cepheid masses continue to be important tests of evolutionary tracks for intermediate mass stars as well as important predictors of their future fate. For systems where the seconda…
The Baade-Wesselink projection factor of RR Lyrae stars -- Calibration from OHP/SOPHIE spectroscopy and Gaia DR3 parallaxes
Garance Bras, Pierre Kervella, Boris Trahin +10
The application of the parallax of pulsation (PoP) technique to determine distances of pulsating stars implies the use of a scaling parameter, the projection factor (p-factor), req…
Inspecting the Cepheid parallax of pulsation using Gaia EDR3 parallaxes. Projection factor and period-luminosity and period-radius relations
Boris Trahin, Louise Breuval, Pierre Kervella +5
As primary anchors of the distance scale, Cepheid stars play a crucial role in our understanding of the distance scale of the Universe because of their period-luminosity relation.…
The Milky Way Cepheid Leavitt law based on Gaia DR2 parallaxes of companion stars and host open cluster populations
Louise Breuval, Pierre Kervella, Richard I. Anderson +12
Classical Cepheids provide the foundation for the empirical extragalactic distance ladder. Milky Way Cepheids are the only stars in this class accessible to trigonometric parallax…
The Leavitt law of Milky Way Cepheids from Gaia DR2 static companion parallaxes
Louise Breuval, Pierre Kervella, Frédéric Arenou +13
Classical Cepheids (CCs) are at the heart of the empirical extragalactic distance ladder. Milky Way CCs are the only stars of this class accessible to trigonometric parallax measur…
A thin shell of ionized gas explaining the IR excess of classical Cepheids
V. Hocdé, N. Nardetto, E. Lagadec +12
Despite observational evidences, InfraRed (IR) excess of classical Cepheids are seldom studied and poorly understood, but probably induces systematics on the Period-Luminosity (PL)…
Consistent radial velocities of classical Cepheids from the cross-correlation technique
Simon Borgniet, Pierre Kervella, Nicolas Nardetto +11
Accurate radial velocities () of Cepheids are mandatory within the context of distance measurements via the Baade-Wesselink technique. The most common de…
CRIRES high-resolution infrared spectroscopy of the long-period Cepheid l Car
N. Nardetto, E. Poretti, A. Gallenne +17
The dynamical structure of the atmosphere of Cepheids has been well studied in the optical. Several authors have found very interesting spectral features in the J band, but little…
Optical interferometry and Gaia parallaxes for a robust calibration of the Cepheid distance scale
Pierre Kervella, Antoine Mérand, Alexandre Gallenne +5
We present the modeling tool we developed to incorporate multi-technique observations of Cepheids in a single pulsation model: the Spectro-Photo-Interferometry of Pulsating Stars (…
Toward a renewed Galactic Cepheid distance scale from Gaia and optical interferometry
Pierre Kervella, Antoine Mérand, Alexandre Gallenne +9
Through an innovative combination of multiple observing techniques and mod- eling, we are assembling a comprehensive understanding of the pulsation and close environment of Cepheid…
Observational calibration of the projection factor of Cepheids - III. The long-period Galactic Cepheid RS Puppis
Pierre Kervella, Boris Trahin, Howard E. Bond +10
The projection factor (p-factor) is an essential component of the classical Baade-Wesselink (BW) technique, that is commonly used to determine the distances to pulsating stars. It…
