The surface brightness - colour relations based on eclipsing binary stars and calibrated with Gaia EDR3

D. Graczyk, G. Pietrzyński, C. Gałan +23

The surface brightness -- colour relation (SBCR) is a basic tool in establishing precise and accurate distances within the Local Group. Detached eclipsing binary stars with accurat…

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…

Testing systematics of Gaia DR2 parallaxes with empirical surface brightness -- color relations applied to eclipsing binaries

Dariusz Graczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Wolfgang Gieren +18

Using a sample of 81 galactic, detached eclipsing binary stars we investigated the global zero-point shift of their parallaxes with the Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) parallaxes. The st…

The late type eclipsing binaries in the Large Magellanic Cloud: catalogue of fundamental physical parameters

Dariusz Graczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Ian B. Thompson +29

We present a determination of precise fundamental physical parameters of twenty detached, double- lined, eclipsing binary stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) containing G- or…

The Surface Brightness--Color Relations Based on Eclipsing Binary Stars: Toward Precision Better than 1% in Angular Diameter Predictions

Dariusz Graczyk, Piotr Konorski, Grzegorz Pietrzynski +7

In this study we investigate the calibration of surface brightness--color (SBC) relations based solely on eclipsing binary stars. We selected a sample of 35 detached eclipsing bina…

The Astropy Problem

Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151

The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…
