The effect of metallicity on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation from a Baade-Wesselink analysis of Cepheids in the Galaxy and in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Jesper Storm, Bruce W. Carney, Wolfgang P. Gieren +3
(ABRIDGED) We have applied the near-IR Barnes-Evans realization of the Baade-Wesselink method as calibrated by Fouque & Gieren (1997) to five metal-poor Cepheids with periods betwe…
BVRIJK light curves and radial velocity curves for selected Magellanic Cloud Cepheids
Jesper Storm, Bruce W. Carney, Wolfgang P. Gieren +4
We present high precision and well sampled BVRIJK light curves and radial velocity curves for a sample of five Cepheids in the SMC. In addition we present radial velocity curves fo…
A Search for Chemical Signatures of Galactic Mergers
Inese I. Ivans, Bruce Carney, Luisa de Almeida +1
We present preliminary abundance analyses of a group of high-velocity metal-poor stars. This report describes our work in progress. We examine the derived abundances in the context…
The effect of metallicity on the Cepheid P-L relation, from a Baade-Wesselink analysis of SMC Cepheids
Jesper Storm, Bruce W. Carney, Anne M. Fry
We present results based on a Baade-Wesselink analysis of Cepheids in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The Baade-Wesselink analysis provides individual luminosities for these metal-poor…
