GIARPS simultaneous optical and infrared high-spectral-resolution observations of Cepheids I. Limb darkening from cross-correlated radial velocities

N. Nardetto, R. S. Rathour, M. C. Bailleul +17

The Baade-Wesselink method, while theoretically applicable for calibrating the distance scale via Cepheids, is not currently employed in the cosmic distance ladder. There are vario…

Multi-chromatic observations of classical Cepheids using the CHARA Array interferometer: Surface brightness-colour relation, projection factor, and limb-darkening

M. C. Bailleul, N. Nardetto, D. Mourard +28

The Baade-Wesselink (BW) method compares the linear and angular variations of Cepheids to derive their distance. This method is limited, however, by the projection factor, which re…

High-contrast imaging of Galactic Cepheids with VLT/SPHERE

A. Gallenne, P. Kervella, N. R. Evans +10

Cepheids are key distance indicators and benchmarks for stellar evolution, yet most of them are members of binary or multiple systems. While spectroscopic surveys and Gaia proper-m…

Reconstruction of Cepheid Radial Velocity Curves from the shape of the V-band Light Curves

V. Hocdé, P. Moskalik, N. Nardetto +17

This paper aims to develop the first method to reconstruct the shape of the RV curves of short-period fundamental-mode Cepheids, based exclusively on their pulsation period and the…

Surface brightness-colour relations of Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds classical Cepheids based on Gaia magnitudes

M. C. Bailleul, N. Nardetto, V. Hocdé +12

Aims: We derive SBCRs for classical Cepheids in the Milky Way and in the Magellanic Clouds using the photometric data available in the Gaia database, and we quantify the metallicit…

Distance to the Globular Cluster M 3 from the Infrared Surface Brightness Technique applied to RR Lyrae stars

Bartłomiej Zgirski, Wolfgang Gieren, Grzegorz Pietrzyński +10

The Infrared Surface Brightness (IRSB) technique is a specific application of the Baade-Wesselink method. Given a proper calibration, well covered optical and near-infrared photome…

Surface brightness-colour relations of Cepheids calibrated by optical interferometry

M. C. Bailleul, N. Nardetto, V. Hocdé +12

Surface brightness-colour relations (SBCRs) are widely used to determine the angular diameters of stars. They are in particular used in the Baade-Wesselink (BW) method of distance…

Circumstellar emission of Cepheids across the instability strip: Mid-infrared observations with VLTI/MATISSE

V. Hocdé, A. Matter, N. Nardetto +14

The circumstellar envelopes (CSE) of Cepheids are still not well characterized despite their potential impact on distance determination via both the period-luminosity relation and…

The Infrared Surface Brightness technique applied to RR Lyrae stars from the solar neighborhood

Bartłomiej Zgirski, Wolfgang Gieren, Grzegorz Pietrzyński +9

The Baade-Wesselink method allows us to estimate distances to individual pulsating stars. Accurate geometric parallaxes obtained by the Gaia mission serve us in the calibration of…

The Orbit and Dynamical Mass of Polaris: Observations with the CHARA Array

Nancy Remage Evans, Gail Schaefer, Alexandre Gallenne +19

The 30 year orbit of the Cepheid Polaris has been followed with observations by the CHARA Array (Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy) from 2016 through 2021. An additional…

Projection factor and radii of Type II Cepheids

Piotr Wielgórski, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Wolfgang Gieren +14

Type II Cepheids are old pulsating stars that can be used to trace the distribution of an old stellar population and to measure distances to globular clusters and galaxies within s…

The orbital parameters of the del Cep inner binary system determined using 2019 HARPS-N spectroscopic data

N. Nardetto, V. Hocdé, P. Kervella +11

An inner companion has recently been discovered orbiting the prototype of classical Cepheids, delta Cep, whose orbital parameters are still not fully constrained. We collected new…

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…
