GIARPS simultaneous optical and infrared high-spectral-resolution observations of Cepheids I. Limb darkening from cross-correlated radial velocities
N. Nardetto, R. S. Rathour, M. C. Bailleul +17
The Baade-Wesselink method, while theoretically applicable for calibrating the distance scale via Cepheids, is not currently employed in the cosmic distance ladder. There are vario…
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…
Reddening maps of the Magellanic Clouds using spectral energy distribution fitting of red giants
H. Netzel, G. Pietrzyński, M. Górski +9
Robust reddening maps of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC/SMC) are crucial for a wide range of astrophysical studies, including the calibration of the cosmic distance lad…
High-contrast imaging of Galactic Cepheids with VLT/SPHERE
A. Gallenne, P. Kervella, N. R. Evans +10
Cepheids are key distance indicators and benchmarks for stellar evolution, yet most of them are members of binary or multiple systems. While spectroscopic surveys and Gaia proper-m…
Period-Luminosity Relations, projection factor and radii of Anomalous Cepheids
Piotr Wielgórski, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Wolfgang Gieren +24
Anomalous Cepheids are radially pulsating stars observed in dwarf galaxies, the Galactic bulge and halo, and globular clusters. Similarly to other radially pulsating stars, they ca…
The GRAVITY young stellar object survey -- XV. The star-disk interaction region of the T Tauri star DO Tau
GRAVITY Collaboration, K. Perraut, J. Bouvier +61
Protoplanetary disks around young Sun-like stars are the cradles of the vast majority of detected exoplanets. Probing these disks at multiple spatial scales is key to uncovering ho…
Reconstruction of Cepheid Radial Velocity Curves from the shape of the V-band Light Curves
V. Hocdé, P. Moskalik, N. Nardetto +17
This paper aims to develop the first method to reconstruct the shape of the RV curves of short-period fundamental-mode Cepheids, based exclusively on their pulsation period and the…
Observational calibration of the projection factor of Cepheids IV. Period-projection factor relation of Galactic and Magellanic Cloud Cepheids
A. Gallenne, P. Kervella, A. Mérand +4
We focus on empirically measure the p-factor of a homogeneous sample of 29 LMC and 10 SMC Cepheids for which an accurate average LMC/SMC distance were estimated from eclipsing bina…
HARPS-N high spectral resolution observations of Cepheids I. The Baade-Wesselink projection factor of δ Cep revisited
N. Nardetto, E. Poretti, M. Rainer +13
The projection factor p is the key quantity used in the Baade-Wesselink (BW) method for distance determination; it converts radial velocities into pulsation velocities. Several met…
Investigating Cepheid Carinae's Cycle-to-cycle Variations via Contemporaneous Velocimetry and Interferometry
R. I. Anderson, A. Mérand, P. Kervella +8
Baade-Wesselink-type (BW) techniques enable geometric distance measurements of Cepheid variable stars in the Galaxy and the Magellanic clouds. The leading uncertainties involved co…
The long-period Galactic Cepheid RS Puppis - III. A geometric distance from HST polarimetric imaging of its light echoes
P. Kervella, H. E. Bond, M. Cracraft +8
As one of the most luminous Cepheids in the Milky Way, the 41.5-day RS Puppis is an analog of the long-period Cepheids used to measure extragalactic distances. An accurate distance…
Multiplicity of Galactic Cepheids from long-baseline interferometry. II. The Companion of AX Circini revealed with VLTI/PIONIER
A. Gallenne, A. Mérand, P. Kervella +6
Aims: We aim at detecting and characterizing the main-sequence companion of the Cepheid AX Cir ( 18 yrs). The long-term objective is to estimate the mass of b…
Preparing an ESO proposal
Pierre Kervella, Paulo J. V. Garcia
Preparing observing proposals is a classical exercise in an observational astronomer's life. In this paper, we summarize the general requirements to write a good proposal for the E…
