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…

The Hertzsprung progression of Classical Cepheids in the Gaia era

Marcella Marconi, Giulia De Somma, Roberto Molinaro +6

A new fine grid of nonlinear convective pulsation models for the so-called "bump Cepheids" is presented to investigate the Hertzprung progression (HP) phenomenon shown by their lig…
