Ultra-Short-Period Binary Systems in the OGLE Fields Toward the Galactic Bulge
I. Soszynski, K. Stepien, B. Pilecki +11
We present a sample of 242 ultra-short-period (P < 0.22 d) eclipsing and ellipsoidal binary stars identified in the OGLE fields toward the Galactic bulge. Based on the light curve…
Distance to the SMC from eclipsing binaries
Dariusz Graczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Bogumił Pilecki +5
The preliminary distance to a long period eclipsing binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud SMC108.1.14904 is presented. The binary system contains two non-active G-type bright giants…
An eclipsing binary distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud accurate to 2 per cent
G. Pietrzyński, D. Graczyk, W. Gieren +25
In the era of precision cosmology it is essential to determine the Hubble Constant with an accuracy of 3% or better. Currently, its uncertainty is dominated by the uncertainty in t…
Accurate dynamical mass determination of a classical Cepheid in an eclipsing binary system
G. Pietrzynski, I. B. Thompson, W. Gieren +5
Stellar pulsation theory provides a means of determining the masses of pulsating classical Cepheid supergiant - it is the pulsation that causes their luminosity to vary. Such pulsa…
