Cepheid distances from the Baade-Wesselink method

Wolfgang Gieren, Jesper Storm, Nicolas Nardetto +5

Recent progress on Baade-Wesselink (BW)-type techniques to determine the distances to classical Cepheids is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the near-infrared surface-bri…

Calibrating the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation from the infrared surface brightness technique I. The p-factor, the Milky Way relations, and a universal K-band relation

J. Storm, W. Gieren, P. Fouque +6

We determine Period-Luminosity relations for Milky Way Cepheids in the optical and near-IR bands. These relations can be used directly as reference for extra-galactic distance dete…

Calibrating the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation from the infrared surface brightness technique II. The effect of metallicity, and the distance to the LMC

J. Storm, W. Gieren, P. Fouque +5

The extragalactic distance scale builds directly on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity (PL) relation as delineated by the sample of Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). However…

An In-Depth Spectroscopic Analysis of the Blazhko Star RR Lyr. I. Characterisation of the star: abundance analysis and fundamental parameters

Katrien Kolenberg, Luca Fossati, Denis Shulyak +4

The knowledge of accurate stellar parameters is a keystone in several fields of stellar astrophysics, such as asteroseismology and stellar evolution. Although the fundamental param…

The Cepheid Distance Scale: recent progress in fundamental techniques

Thomas G. Barnes

This review examines progress on the Pop I, fundamental-mode Cepheid distance scale with emphasis on recent developments in geometric and quasi-geometric techniques for Cepheid dis…

Evidence for a Universal Slope of the Period-Luminosity Relation from Direct Distances to Cepheids in the LMC

Wolfgang Gieren, Jesper Storm, Thomas G. Barnes +3

We have applied the infrared surface brightness (ISB) technique to derive distances to 13 Cepheid variables in the LMC which have periods from 3-42 days. The corresponding absolute…
