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…
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…
The late type eclipsing binaries in the Large Magellanic Cloud: catalogue of fundamental physical parameters
Dariusz Graczyk, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Ian B. Thompson +29
We present a determination of precise fundamental physical parameters of twenty detached, double- lined, eclipsing binary stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) containing G- or…
The Araucaria Project. The Distance to the Sculptor Group Galaxy NGC 7793 from Near-Infrared Photometry of Cepheid Variables
Bartlomiej Zgirski, Wolfgang Gieren, Grzegorz Pietrzynski +7
Following the earlier discovery of classical Cepheid variables in the Sculptor Group spiral galaxy NGC 7793 from an optical wide-field imaging survey, we have performed deep near-i…
A precision determination of the Effect of Metallicity on Cepheid absolute magnitudes in VIJHK bands from Magellanic Cloud Cepheids
Piotr Wielgorski, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Wolfgang Gieren +8
Using high-quality observed period-luminosity relations in both Magellanic Clouds in VIJHKs bands and optical and near-infrared Wesenheit indices we determine the effect of metalli…
