Convective Core Overshoot & Mass Loss in Classical Cepheids: A Solution to the Mass Discrepancy?
Hilding R. Neilson, Matteo Cantiello, Norbert Langer
We explore the role of mass loss and convective core overshoot in the evolution of Classical Cepheids. Stellar evolution models are computed with a recipe for pulsation-driven mass…
Using Limb-Darkening to Measure the Masses of Red Giants
Hilding R. Neilson, John B. Lester
We present a novel method for measuring the masses of evolved stars from their limb-darkening observations parameterized as a linear-plus-square-root function with two coefficients…
Cepheid Period-Luminosity Relation from the AKARI Observations
Chow-Choong Ngeow, Yoshifusa Ita, Shashi M. Kanbur +3
In this paper, we derive the period-luminosity (P-L) relation for Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Cepheids based on mid-infrared AKARI observations. AKARI's IRC sources were matched t…
Testing Mass Loss in Large Magellanic Cloud Cepheids using Infrared and Optical Observations II. Predictions and Tests of the OGLE-III Fundamental-Mode Cepheids
Hilding R. Neilson, Chow-Choong Ngeow, Shashi Kanbur +1
In this article, we test the hypothesis that Cepheids have infrared excesses due to mass loss. We fit a model using the mass-loss rate and the stellar radius as free parameters to…
