Interstellar extinction of classical Cepheids from neighboring stars I. Methodology and application to 16 Galactic Cepheids
Wilma Kiviaho, Pierre Kervella, Mika Juvela +21
Galactic Cepheid variable stars are fundamental calibrators of the cosmic distance scale through their Period-Luminosity (PL) relation. The high-precision parallaxes expected from…
VLTI/GRAVITY upper limit on near-infrared emission from the nearby 33 Msun black hole Gaia BH3
Pierre Kervella, Pasquale Panuzzo, Alexandre Gallenne +11
The recent astrometric discovery of the nearby (590 pc) massive () dormant black hole candidate Gaia BH3 offers the possibility to angularly resolve the black hole from…
The Araucaria Project: Improving the cosmic distance scale
The Araucaria Project, :, G. Pietrzyński +21
The book consists of a number of short articles that present achievements of the Araucaria members, collaborators, and friends, in various aspects of distance determinations and re…
Inspecting the Cepheid distance ladder: The Hubble Space Telescope distance to the SNIa host galaxy NGC 5584
Behnam Javanmardi, Antoine Mérand, Pierre Kervella +7
The current tension between the direct and the early Universe measurements of the Hubble Constant, , requires detailed scrutiny of all the data and methods used in the studies…
A distance determination to the Small Magellanic Cloud with an accuracy of better than 2 percent based on late-type eclipsing binary stars
Dariusz Graczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Ian B. Thompson +17
We present a new study of late-type eclipsing binary stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) undertaken with the aim of improving the distance determination to this important gal…
A distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud that is precise to one per cent
G. Pietrzynski, D. Graczyk, A. Gallenne +19
In the era of precision cosmology, it is essential to empirically determine the Hubble constant with an accuracy of one per cent or better. At present, the uncertainty on this cons…
