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…

Toward a Comprehensive Grid of Cepheid Models with MESA I. Uncertainties of the Evolutionary Tracks of Intermediate-Mass Stars

Oliwia Ziółkowska, Radosław Smolec, Anne Thoul +3

Helium-burning stars, in particular Cepheids, are especially difficult to model, as the choice of free parameters can greatly impact the shape of the blue loops - the part of the e…
