Alpha Cygni Variables as Seen from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite

Joyce A. Guzik, Claire Whitley, Nova Moore +2

The Alpha Cygni (ACYG) variables are blue-white supergiants which display low-amplitude brightness variations of around 0.1 magnitude. The prototype Deneb shows quasi-periodic vari…

Convective shells in the interior of Cepheid variable stars: overshooting models based on hydrodynamic simulations

Maxime Stuck, Jane Pratt, Isabelle Baraffe +5

Because Cepheid variable stars have long been used as a cosmic benchmark, the accuracy of stellar evolution models for Cepheids have wide-reaching effects. Our goal is to provide a…

Abrupt Pulsation Resumptions in Deneb: An Update

Joyce A. Guzik, Brian Kloppenborg, Noel Richardson +4

Deneb, the prototype Alpha Cygni variable, is a bright A2 Ia supergiant which shows irregular variability with a 12-day quasi-period, presumed to be caused by pulsations. At the 20…

Deneb and the alpha Cygni Variables

Joyce A. Guzik, Brian Kloppenborg, Jason Jackiewicz

Deneb, the prototype alpha Cygni variable, is a blue-white supergiant that shows irregular variability with quasi-period around 12 days in brightness and radial velocity. Abt et al…

Abrupt Periodic Pulsation Resumptions in Deneb

Joyce A. Guzik, Helmut A. Abt, Jason Jackiewicz +1

Deneb (alpha Cygni) is a bright (V magnitude 1.25) blue-white supergiant (spectral type A2 Ia) which shows variability in both radial velocity and photometric measurements. H. Abt…
