Searching Beyond the Obscuring Dust Between the Cygnus-Aquila Rifts for Cepheid Tracers of the Galaxy's Spiral Arms
Daniel J. Majaess, David G. Turner, David J. Lane
A campaign is described, open to participation by interested AAVSO members, of follow-up observations for newly-discovered Cepheid variables in undersampled and obscured regions of…
Type II Cepheids as Extragalactic Distance Candles
Daniel J. Majaess, David G. Turner, David J. Lane
Extragalactic Type II Cepheids are tentatively identified in photometric surveys of IC 1613, M33, M101, M106, M31, NGC 4603, and the SMC. Preliminary results suggest that Type II C…
Enhancing Our Knowledge of Northern Cepheids through Photometric Monitoring
David G. Turner, Daniel J. Majaess, David J. Lane +4
A selection of known and newly-discovered northern hemisphere Cepheids and related objects are being monitored regularly through CCD observations at the automated Abbey Ridge Obser…
The Cepheid Impostor HD 18391 and its Anonymous Parent Cluster
David G. Turner, V. V. Kovtyukh, Daniel J. Majaess +2
New and existing photometry for the G0 Ia supergiant HD 18391 is analyzed in order to confirm the nature of the variablity previously detected in the star, which lies off the hot e…
Does Collinder 236 host a Cepheid calibrator?
David G. Turner, D. Forbes, P. J. T. Leonard +3
Photoelectric UBV photometry and star counts are presented for the previously unstudied open cluster Collinder 236, supplemented by observations for stars near the Cepheid WZ Car.…
Characteristics of the Galaxy according to Cepheids
Daniel J. Majaess, David G. Turner, David J. Lane
Classical and Type II Cepheids are used to reinvestigate specific properties of the Galaxy. A new Type II reddening-free Cepheid distance parameterization is formulated from LMC Ce…
