The diameter of the CoRoT target HD 49933. Combining the 3D limb darkening, asteroseismology, and interferometry

L. Bigot, D. Mourard, P. Berio +21

Context. The interpretation of stellar pulsations in terms of internal structure depends on the knowledge of the fundamental stellar parameters. Long-base interferometers permit us…

The Baade-Wesselink p-factor applicable to LMC Cepheids

N. Nardetto, A. Fokin, P. Fouqué +5

Context. Recent observations of LMC Cepheids bring new constraints on the slope of the period-projection factor relation (hereafter Pp relation) that is currently used in the Baade…

Chromosphere of K giant stars Geometrical extent and spatial structure detection

P. Berio, T. Merle, F. Thevenin +19

We aim to constrain the geometrical extent of the chromosphere of non-binary K giant stars and detect any spatial structures in the chromosphere. We performed observations with the…

The 2011 outburst of the recurrent novaT Pyx. Evidence for a face-on bipolar ejection

Olivier Chesneau, A. Meilland, D. P. K. Banerjee +19

We report on near-IR interferometric observations of the outburst of the recurrent nova T Pyx. We obtained near-IR observations of T Pyx at dates ranging from t=2.37d to t=48.2d af…

The Araucaria Project. Accurate determination of the dynamical mass of the classical Cepheid in the eclipsing system OGLE-LMC-CEP-1812

G. Pietrzynski, I. Thompson, D. Graczyk. +8

We have analyzed the double-lined eclipsing binary system OGLE-LMC-CEP-1812 in the LMC and demonstrate that it contains a classical fundamental mode Cepheid pulsating with a period…

Calibrating the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation from the infrared surface brightness technique I. The p-factor, the Milky Way relations, and a universal K-band relation

J. Storm, W. Gieren, P. Fouque +6

We determine Period-Luminosity relations for Milky Way Cepheids in the optical and near-IR bands. These relations can be used directly as reference for extra-galactic distance dete…
