Rogue Ones: Orbital census of Galactic Cepheids and their Anomalies
Shourya Khanna, Ronald Drimmel, Eloisa Poggio +2
Classical Cepheids (DCEPs) are excellent standard candles expected to trace the spatial and kinematic distribution of the Galaxy's young and dynamically cold stellar disc. Using th…
The Effect of a Non-universal Extinction Curve on the Wesenheit Function and Cepheid Distances
D. M. Skowron, M. L. Fouesneau, R. Drimmel +1
The Wesenheit function is widely used to reduce the effects of interstellar reddening in distance measurements. Its construction, however, relies on the assumption of a universal e…
The realm of Aurora. Density distribution of metal-poor giants in the heart of the Galaxy
Evgeny P. Kurbatov, Vasily Belokurov, Sergey Koposov +11
The innermost portions of the Milky Way's stellar halo have avoided scrutiny until recently. The lack of wide-area survey data, made it difficult to reconstruct an uninterrupted vi…
GaiaUnlimited: The old stellar disc of the Milky Way as traced by the Red Clump
Shourya Khanna, Jie Yu, Ronald Drimmel +9
We present an exploration of the Milky Way's structural parameters using an all-sky sample of RC giants to map the stellar density from the Galactic disc beyond 3 kpc. These evolve…
The Milky Way as Seen by Classical Cepheids II: Spiral Structure
Ronald Drimmel, Shourya Khanna, Eloisa Poggio +1
As a relatively young and bright population and the archetype of standard candles, classical Cepheids are an ideal population on which to trace the non-axisymmetric structure in th…
The Milky Way as Seen by Classical Cepheids I: Distances Based on Mid-infrared Photometry
Dorota M. Skowron, Ronald Drimmel, Shourya Khanna +3
Classical Cepheids are the archetype of the standard candle, thanks to the period-luminosity relation which allows to measure their intrinsic brightness. They are also relatively y…
