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\…
The VMC Survey -- LIV. Anomalous Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds Period-Luminosity relations in the near-infrared bands
Teresa Sicignano, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marina Rejkuba +12
Anomalous Cepheids (ACs) are less studied metal-poor pulsating stars ([Fe/H]<-1.5) compared to Classical Cepheids (CCs) and RR Lyrae stars. They follow distinct Period-Luminosity (…
VSTPOL: making the VST a large survey telescope for optical polarimetry
P. Schipani, S. Covino, F. Snik +30
Since the start of operations in 2011, the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) has been one of the most efficient wide-field imagers in the optical bands. However, in the next years the Ver…
Spatial Age Distribution of Classical Cepheids in Spiral Galaxies: The Cases of M31 and M33
Giulia De Somma, Marcella Marconi, Vincenzo Ripepi +5
Classical Cepheids can be used as age indicators due to well-established period-age and period-age-color relations. \citet{Desomma2021} refined these relations by including a metal…
