Standardized Luminosity of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch utilizing Multiple Fields in NGC 4258 and the CATs Algorithm
Siyang Li, Adam G. Riess, Dan Scolnic +6
The Tip of the Red Giant Branch provides a luminous standard candle for calibrating distance ladders that reach Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) hosts. However, recent work reveals that t…
Reeling in the Whirlpool: the distance to M 51 clarified by Cepheids and the Type IIP SN 2005cs
G. Csörnyei, R. I. Anderson, C. Vogl +4
Despite being one of the best-known galaxies, the distance to the Whirlpool Galaxy, M 51, is still debated. Current estimates range from 6.02 to 9.09 Mpc, and different methods yie…
Young stellar distance indicators and the extragalactic distance scale
Richard I. Anderson
The extragalactic distance scale is perhaps the most important application of stellar distance indicators. Among these, classical Cepheids are high-accuracy standard candles that s…
Do the majority of stars form as gravitationally unbound?
František Dinnbier, Pavel Kroupa, Richard I. Anderson
Some of the youngest stars (age Myr) are clustered, while many others are observed scattered throughout star forming regions or in complete isolation. It has been int…
On the dynamical evolution of Cepheids in star clusters
František Dinnbier, Richard I. Anderson, Pavel Kroupa
We investigate the occurrence of classical (type-I) Cepheid variable stars (henceforth: Cepheids) in dynamically evolving star clusters from birth to an age of approximately 300 My…
Cepheids in Open Clusters: An 8-D All-sky Census
Richard I. Anderson, Laurent Eyer, Nami Mowlavi
Cepheids in open clusters (cluster Cepheids: CCs) are of great importance as zero-point calibrators of the Galactic Cepheid period-luminosity relationship (PLR). We perform an 8-di…
