Pulsation periods reveal tension between theoretical and empirical radii for classical Cepheids in eclipsing binary systems

O. Ziółkowska, R. Smolec, R. Singh Rathour +1

Context. With their precisely determined physical parameters, classical Cepheids in eclipsing binary systems are often used to constrain stellar evolution and pulsation theories. T…

HALO II: Constraining Hubble constant through continuum delay fitting of Fairall 9

Amit Kumar Mandal, Francisco Pozo Nuñez, Vikram Kumar Jaiswal +28

The Hubble tension remains one of the most significant unresolved problems in modern cosmology. A key question is whether it may arise from underestimated systematic uncertainties…

Finding the elusive RR Lyrae companions via speckle imaging

R. Salinas, V. Kalari, G. Hajdu +25

Despite their key role in astrophysics, the binary properties of RR Lyrae stars (RRL) remain almost completely unknown since only a single RRL is confirmed as belonging to a binary…

Period-Luminosity Relations, projection factor and radii of Anomalous Cepheids

Piotr Wielgórski, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Wolfgang Gieren +24

Anomalous Cepheids are radially pulsating stars observed in dwarf galaxies, the Galactic bulge and halo, and globular clusters. Similarly to other radially pulsating stars, they ca…

Toward a Comprehensive Grid of Cepheid Models with MESA. III. Evolutionary and Pulsation Relations for Models with Core and Envelope Overshooting

R. Smolec, O. Ziółkowska, R. Singh Rathour +2

Evolutionary tracks for 2-8M models, covering a [Fe/H]=1.0 () to [Fe/H]=+0.2 () metallicity range are computed with Modules for Experiments in Stellar…
