Perspectives of a visible instrument on the VLTI
Florentin Millour, Denis Mourard, Julien Woillez +9
In this paper we present the most promising science cases for a new generation visible instrument on the VLTI and the conceptual idea for the instrumental configuration. We also pr…
The effect of metallicity on Cepheid Period-Luminosity relations from a Baade-Wesselink analysis of Cepheids in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds
W. Gieren, J. Storm, P. Konorski +14
The extragalactic distance scale builds on the Cepheid period-luminosity (PL) relation. In this paper, we want to carry out a strictly differential comparison of the absolute PL re…
CRIRES high-resolution infrared spectroscopy of the long-period Cepheid l Car
N. Nardetto, E. Poretti, A. Gallenne +17
The dynamical structure of the atmosphere of Cepheids has been well studied in the optical. Several authors have found very interesting spectral features in the J band, but little…
Optical interferometry and Gaia parallaxes for a robust calibration of the Cepheid distance scale
Pierre Kervella, Antoine Mérand, Alexandre Gallenne +5
We present the modeling tool we developed to incorporate multi-technique observations of Cepheids in a single pulsation model: the Spectro-Photo-Interferometry of Pulsating Stars (…
The Araucaria Project: High-precision Cepheid astrophysics from the analysis of variables in double-lined eclipsing binaries
Bogumił Pilecki, Wolfgang Gieren, Grzegorz Pietrzyński +15
Based on new observations and improved modeling techniques, we have reanalyzed seven Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Improved physical parameters have been determined for t…
Physical properties of beta Lyr A and its opaque accretion disk
D. Mourard, M. Broz, J. Nemravova +23
Mass exchange and mass loss in close binaries can significantly affect their evolution, but a complete self-consistent theory of these processes is still to be developed. Processes…
