Surface brightness-colour relations of dwarf stars from detached eclipsing binaries -- I. Calibrating sample

D. Graczyk, G. Pietrzyński, C. Galan +19

Surface brightness -- colour relations (SBCRs) are very useful tools for predicting the angular diameters of stars. They offer the possibility to calculate very precise spectrophot…

Metallicities and ages for star clusters and their surrounding fields in the Large Magellanic Cloud

W. Narloch, G. Pietrzyński, W. Gieren +15

We study 147 star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in order to determine their mean metallicities and ages, as well as the mean metallicities of 80 surrounding fields.…

An absolute calibration of the near-infrared Period-Luminosity Relations of Type II Cepheids in the Milky Way and in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Piotr Wielgórski, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Bogumił Pilecki +29

We present time-series photometry of 21 nearby Type II Cepheids in the near-infrared J, H and Ks passbands. We use this photometry, together with the Third Gaia Early Data Release…

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…

Metallicities and ages for 35 star clusters and their surrounding fields in the Small Magellanic Cloud

W. Narloch, G. Pietrzyński, W. Gieren +13

In this work we study 35 stellar clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in order to provide their mean metallicities and ages. We also provide mean metallicities of the field…

Time Delay of MgII Emission Response for the Luminous Quasar HE 0435-4312: Towards Application of High-Accretor Radius-Luminosity Relation in Cosmology

Michal Zajaček, Bożena Czerny, Mary Loli Martinez-Aldama +21

Using the six years of the spectroscopic monitoring of the luminous quasar HE 0435-4312 () with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT), in combination with the photo…
