EROS Variable Stars : Discovery of Beat Cepheids in the Small Magellanic Cloud and the effect of metallicity on pulsation
J. P. Beaulieu, M. Krockenberger, D. D. Sasselov +27
We report the discovery of eleven beat Cepheids in the Small Magellanic Cloud, using data obtained by the EROS microlensing survey. Four stars are beating in the fundamental and fi…

Metallicity Effects on the Cepheid Extragalactic Distance Scale from EROS photometry in LMC and SMC
D. D. Sasselov, J. P. Beaulieu, C. Renault +30
This is an investigation of the period-luminosity relation of classical Cepheids in samples of different metallicity. It is based on 481 Cepheids in the Large and Small Magellanic…

The effect of metallicity on the Cepheid distance scale and its implications for the Hubble constant () determination
J. P. Beaulieu, D. D. Sasselov, C. Renault +30
Recent HST determinations of the expansion's rate of the Universe (the Hubble constant, H_0) assumed that the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation at V and I are independent of metal…
