Investigating the Light Curves of 5 Long Period Variable Stars: A Study Cross-Harmonics using VStar, MESA, and GYRE

G. M. Sherren, A. Cross, N. Steenken +2

Long Period Variables (LPVs) are Asymptotic Giant Branch stars with periods >100 days. Around one third to half of LPVs display a Long Secondary Period (LSP) that is 5-10 times the…

Age Discrepancy in Three Galactic Cepheid Binaries

Sashwat Prasadh, Hilding R. Neilson, Nancy Remage Evans

SV Per, RW Cam, and KN Cen are Galactic classical Cepheids found in binary systems along with B-type companions. Each system exhibits an ``apparent age discrepancy", where the Ceph…

The Curious Case of V CVn

Michael T. Power, Hilding R. Neilson, Galina Sherren

Decades of observations on the star V Canum Venaticorum (V CVn) have revealed an unusual inverse relationship between its linear polarization and light curves (sometimes with a lea…

A Multi-Year Photopolarimetric Study of the Semi-Regular Variable V CVn and Identification of Analogue Sources

Hilding Neilson, Nicolaus Steenken, John Simpson +4

The semi-regular variable star V Canum Venaticorum (V CVn) is well-known for its unusual linear polarization position angle (PA). Decades of observing V CVn reveal a nearly constan…

X-rays in Cepheids: Identifying Low-Mass Companions of Intermediate-Mass Stars

Nancy Remage Evans, Scott Engle, Ignazio Pillitteri +12

X-ray observations have been made of a sample of 20 classical Cepheids, including two new observations (Polaris and {\it l} Car) reported here. The occurrence of X-ray flux around…
