The Baade-Wesselink projection factor of RR Lyrae stars -- Calibration from OHP/SOPHIE spectroscopy and Gaia DR3 parallaxes

Garance Bras, Pierre Kervella, Boris Trahin +10

The application of the parallax of pulsation (PoP) technique to determine distances of pulsating stars implies the use of a scaling parameter, the projection factor (p-factor), req…

An eclipsing binary distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud accurate to 2 per cent

G. Pietrzyński, D. Graczyk, W. Gieren +25

In the era of precision cosmology it is essential to determine the Hubble Constant with an accuracy of 3% or better. Currently, its uncertainty is dominated by the uncertainty in t…

Age and metallicity for six LMC clusters and their surrounding field population

B. Dirsch, T. Richtler, W. P. Gieren +1

We investigate, on the basis of CCD Stroemgren photometry, the ages and metallicities of six LMC clusters together with their surrounding field population. The clusters and metalli…
