Classical Cepheids in the JWST and Roman Era: A New Theoretical Framework and its Metallicity Dependence

Giulia De Somma, Marcella Marconi, Vincenzo Ripepi +7

Classical Cepheids are fundamental distance indicators that anchor the cosmic distance ladder through their Period-Luminosity, Period-Luminosity-Color, and Period-Wesenheit relatio…

Large Magellanic Cloud Globular Clusters in the Near-infrared. I. RR Lyrae in Reticulum

Anupam Bhardwaj, Susmita Das, Prashant Nishad +10

Reticulum is an old, metal-poor, and sparsely populated globular cluster in the outer regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and hosts a rich population of RR Lyrae stars. Bei…

Determination of [Fe/H] in Fundamental mode Classical Cepheids from Gaia DR3 light curve Fourier parameters

Roberto Molinaro, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marcella Marconi +9

Estimating the iron abundance ([Fe/H]) of Classical Cepheids (CCs) is crucial both for validating the cosmic distance scale through the Period-Luminosity relation and for tracing t…

Type II Cepheids: Period-Luminosity-Metallicity relations for the Population II distance scale

Susmita Das, Anupam Bhardwaj, Marcella Marconi

Type II Cepheids are a class of pulsating variable stars that play a critical role in our understanding of stellar evolution, distance measurement and tracing the structure and kin…

New theoretical predictions on Type II Cepheids: towards a self consistent Pop. II distance scale

Marcella Marconi, Roberto Molinaro, Vincenzo Ripepi +7

Type II Cepheids are pulsating stars that can be used as standard candles for old stellar populations due to their characteristic Period-Luminosity and Period-Luminosity-Colour rel…

Converging on the Cepheid Metallicity Dependence: Implications of Non-Standard Gaia Parallax Recalibration on Distance Measures

Louise Breuval, Gagandeep S. Anand, Richard I. Anderson +20

By comparing Cepheid brightnesses with geometric distance measures including Gaia EDR3 parallaxes, most recent analyses conclude metal-rich Cepheids are brighter, quantified as $γ\…
