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…

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…

Surface brightness-colour relations of Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds classical Cepheids based on Gaia magnitudes

M. C. Bailleul, N. Nardetto, V. Hocdé +12

Aims: We derive SBCRs for classical Cepheids in the Milky Way and in the Magellanic Clouds using the photometric data available in the Gaia database, and we quantify the metallicit…

Distance to the Globular Cluster M 3 from the Infrared Surface Brightness Technique applied to RR Lyrae stars

Bartłomiej Zgirski, Wolfgang Gieren, Grzegorz Pietrzyński +10

The Infrared Surface Brightness (IRSB) technique is a specific application of the Baade-Wesselink method. Given a proper calibration, well covered optical and near-infrared photome…

Surface brightness-colour relations of Cepheids calibrated by optical interferometry

M. C. Bailleul, N. Nardetto, V. Hocdé +12

Surface brightness-colour relations (SBCRs) are widely used to determine the angular diameters of stars. They are in particular used in the Baade-Wesselink (BW) method of distance…

Circumstellar emission of Cepheids across the instability strip: Mid-infrared observations with VLTI/MATISSE

V. Hocdé, A. Matter, N. Nardetto +14

The circumstellar envelopes (CSE) of Cepheids are still not well characterized despite their potential impact on distance determination via both the period-luminosity relation and…
