Plato benchmark stars I. The initial benchmark sample
T. Merle, P. F. L. Maxted, O. L. Creevey +22
The ESA PLATO mission aims to detect and characterise Earth-size exoplanets orbiting bright, late-type stars using high-precision photometry and asteroseismology. Precise stellar p…
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…
Interferometric Survey of Stellar Parameters: Mass of the metallic A-type binary Aur
J. Jonák, D. Mourard, J. D. Monnier +23
With the capabilities of the new visible CHARA/SPICA instrument and the multiple spectral band operation of CHARA, our goal is to resolve orbits of short-period binaries and develo…
CHARA/SPICA: The six-telescope visible combiner and near-infrared fringe tracker for the CHARA Array
D. Mourard, P. Bério, C. Bailet +43
The suite called Stellar Parameters and Images with a Cophased Array (SPICA) has two interferometric instruments installed at the focus of the CHARA Array located at Mount Wilson,…
Interferometric Survey of Stellar Parameters: Towards homogeneous FGK stars parameters and surface-brightness color relation in the context of PLATO space mission
Romina V. Ibañez Bustos, Denis Mourard, Nicolas Nardetto +20
The estimation of stellar angular diameters can be performed from the surface brightness - color relation (SBCR) and photometry. The SBCR have been considered by the PLATO space mi…
