Towards early-type eclipsing binaries as extragalactic milestones: I. Physical parameters of OGLE-LMC-ECL-22270 and OGLE-LMC-ECL-06782
Mónica Taormina, G. Pietrzyński, B. Pilecki +11
In this first paper of the series we describe our project to calibrate the distance determination method based on early-type binary systems. The final objective is to measure accur…
Candidates for non-pulsating stars located in the Cepheid instability strip in the Large Magellanic Cloud based on Strömgren photometry
W. Narloch, G. Pietrzyński, Z. Kołaczkowski +14
We present candidates for non-pulsating stars lying in the classical Cepheid instability strip based on OGLE photometric maps combined with Strömgren photometry obtained with the 4…
Accurate stellar parameters and distance to two evolved eclipsing binary systems, OGLE-BLG-ECL-123903 and OGLE-BLG-ECL-296596, towards the Galactic bulge
K. Suchomska, D. Graczyk, G. Pietrzyński +15
Aim: Our aim is to obtain high-accuracy measurements of the physical and orbital parameters of two evolved eclipsing binary systems, and to use these measurements to study their ev…
Multiplicity of Galactic Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars from Gaia DR2 - I. Binarity from proper motion anomaly
P. Kervella, A. Gallenne, N. R. Evans +8
Classical Cepheids (CCs) and RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) are important classes of variable stars used as standard candles to estimate galactic and extragalactic distances. Their multipli…
Testing systematics of Gaia DR2 parallaxes with empirical surface brightness -- color relations applied to eclipsing binaries
Dariusz Graczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Wolfgang Gieren +18
Using a sample of 81 galactic, detached eclipsing binary stars we investigated the global zero-point shift of their parallaxes with the Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) parallaxes. The st…
