Red giant variables: OGLE--II and MACHO
L. L. Kiss, P. Lah
We review the recent impact of microlensing projects on our understanding of pulsating red giant stars. Discussed are red giant stars' pulsation properties (period--luminosity rela…
New clues on outburst mechanisms and improved spectroscopic elements of the black-hole binary V4641 Sagittarii
C. Lindstrom, J. Griffin, L. L. Kiss +4
We present spectroscopic observations of the black-hole binary V4641 Sagittarii, obtained between 4th July 2004 and 28th March 2005, which cover the minor outburst of the star in e…
Red variables in the OGLE-II data base -- III. Constraints on the three-dimensional structures of the LMC and SMC
P. Lah, L. L. Kiss, T. R. Bedding
We present an analysis of the 3-D structure of the Magellanic Clouds, using period-luminosity (P-L) relations of pulsating red giants in the OGLE-II sample. By interpreting deviati…
Photometric biases due to stellar blending: implications for measuring distances, constraining binarity and detecting exoplanetary transits
L. L. Kiss, T. R. Bedding
We investigate blending, binarity and photometric biases in crowded-field CCD imaging. For this, we consider random blend losses, which correspond to the total number of stars left…
