Period-Luminosity Relations for Galactic classical Cepheids in the Sloan bands

Weronika Narloch, Gergely Hajdu, Grzegorz Pietrzynski +6

We present the first period-luminosity (PL) and period-Wesenheit (PW) relations in the Sloan-Pans-STARRS gP1rP1iP1 bands for classical fundamental mode Cepheids in the Milky Way. W…

HARPS-N high spectral resolution observations of Cepheids II. The impact of the surface-brightness color relation on the Baade-Wesselink projection factor of eta Aql

N. Nardetto, W. Gieren, J. Storm +16

The Baade-Wesselink (BW) method of distance determination of Cepheids is used to calibrate the distance scale. Various versions of this method are mainly based on interferometry an…

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…

A distance determination to the Small Magellanic Cloud with an accuracy of better than 2 percent based on late-type eclipsing binary stars

Dariusz Graczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Ian B. Thompson +17

We present a new study of late-type eclipsing binary stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) undertaken with the aim of improving the distance determination to this important gal…

Time-delay measurement of MgII broad line response for the highly-accreting quasar HE 0413-4031: Implications for the MgII-based radius-luminosity relation

Michal Zajaček, Bożena Czerny, Mary Loli Martinez-Aldama +16

We present the monitoring of the AGN continuum and MgII broad line emission for the quasar HE 0413-4031 () based on the six-year monitoring by the South African Large Teles…

Empirical calibration of the reddening maps in the Magellanic Clouds

Marek Gorski, Bartlomiej Zgirski, Grzegorz Pietrzynski +9

We present reddening maps of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), based on color measurements of the red clump. Reddening values of our maps were obta…
