Theoretical RR Lyrae Instability Strip from MESA-RSP Pulsation models and updated BaSTI Evolutionary Tracks

M. Deka, M. Marconi, R. Molinaro +6

RR Lyraes (RRLs) are important tracers of old stellar populations and crucial distance indicators. To complement large variability surveys such as Gaia and Rubin-LSST, the topology…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C--MetaLL) survey: VIII. High-Resolution IGRINS Spectroscopy of 23 Classical Cepheids: Validating NIR Abundances

G. Catanzaro, A. Bhardwaj, V. Ripepi +8

Context. While most chemical abundance studies of Cepheids rely on optical spectroscopy, near-infrared (NIR) observations offer advantages in terms of reduced extinction and access…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C- MetaLL) survey: VIII: Spectroscopic detection of rare earth dysprosium, erbium, lutetium and thorium in Classical Cepheids

E. Trentin, G. Catanzaro, V. Ripepi +11

Classical Cepheids are among the most important distance calibrators thanks to the correlation between their period and luminosity, and play a crucial role in the calibration as th…

The light curve model fitting of LMC Cepheids: MESA-RSP versus Stellingwerf's code predictions

M. Deka, M. Marconi, R. Molinaro +9

A major challenge in modeling classical Cepheids is the treatment of convection, particularly its complex interplay with pulsation. This inherently three-dimensional process is typ…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C-MetaLL) survey: IX. Metallicity dependence of Period-Wesenheit relations based on a homogeneous spectroscopic sample

V. Ripepi, E. Trentin, G. Catanzaro +8

The C-MetaLL project has provided homogeneous spectroscopic abundances of 290 Classical Cepheids (DCEPs) for which we have the intensity-averaged magnitudes in multiple optical and…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C- MetaLL) survey: VI: Radial abundance gradients of 29 chemical species in the Milky Way Disk

E. Trentin, G. Catanzaro, V. Ripepi +9

Classical Cepheids (DCEPs) are crucial for calibrating the extragalactic distance ladder, ultimately enabling the determination of the Hubble constant through the PL and PW relatio…

The VMC Survey -- L. Type II Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds

Teresa Sicignano, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marcella Marconi +9

Type II Cepheids (T2C) are less frequently used counterparts of classical Cepheids which provide the primary calibration of the distance ladder for measuring in the local Uni…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C-MetaLL) Survey. V. New multiband (grizJHKs) Cepheid light curves and period-luminosity relations

A. Bhardwaj, V. Ripepi, V. Testa +8

We present homogeneous multiband (grizJHKs) time-series observations of 78 Cepheids including 49 fundamental mode variables and 29 first-overtone mode variables. These observations…

Cepheid Metallicity in the Leavitt Law (C- MetaLL) survey: IV. The metallicity dependence of Cepheid Period-Luminosity relations

E. Trentin, V. Ripepi, R. Molinaro +10

Classical Cepheids (DCEPs) play a fundamental role in the calibration of the extra-galactic distance ladder which eventually leads to the determination of the Hubble constant(…

First spectroscopic investigation of Anomalous Cepheid variables

V. Ripepi, G. Catanzaro, E. Trentin +12

Anomalous Cepheids (ACEPs) are intermediate mass metal-poor pulsators mostly discovered in dwarf galaxies of the Local Group. However, recent Galactic surveys, including the Gaia D…

TESS observations of Cepheid stars: first light results

E. Plachy, A. Pál, A. Bódi +33

We present the first analysis of Cepheid stars observed by the TESS space mission in Sectors 1 to 5. Our sample consists of 25 pulsators: ten fundamental mode, three overtone and t…
