Cepheids with giant companions III. Evolutionary modeling of nine binary double Cepheids from the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds
F. Espinoza-Arancibia, B. Pilecki, M. Catelan +3
Binary double (BIND) Cepheids are systems comprising two Cepheid components. This feature provides important constraints that allow us to reveal the origin of Cepheids, trace their…
High-contrast imaging of Galactic Cepheids with VLT/SPHERE
A. Gallenne, P. Kervella, N. R. Evans +10
Cepheids are key distance indicators and benchmarks for stellar evolution, yet most of them are members of binary or multiple systems. While spectroscopic surveys and Gaia proper-m…
Toward Early-type Eclipsing Binaries as Extragalactic Milestones: First Calibration of the SBCR from O- and B-type Stars in Detached Eclipsing Binaries
Mónica Taormina, G. Pietrzyński, B. Pilecki +4
To measure precise distances beyond the Magellanic Clouds and determine an accurate value of the Hubble constant, eclipsing binary systems composed of early-type stars can play a c…
Period-Luminosity Relations, projection factor and radii of Anomalous Cepheids
Piotr Wielgórski, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Wolfgang Gieren +24
Anomalous Cepheids are radially pulsating stars observed in dwarf galaxies, the Galactic bulge and halo, and globular clusters. Similarly to other radially pulsating stars, they ca…
Empirical instability strip for classical Cepheids II. The Small Magellanic Cloud galaxy
Felipe Espinoza-Arancibia, Bogumił Pilecki, Matylda Łukaszewicz
Aims. This study aims to determine empirical intrinsic edges of the classical Cepheids instability strip (IS) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) galaxy, considering various effect…
The nature of ASASSN-24fw's occultation: modelling the event as dimming by optically thick rings around a sub-stellar companion
Sarang Shah, Jonathan P. Marshall, Carlos del Burgo +12
ASASSN-24fw is a main-sequence F-type star that experienced a rapid and long-lasting dimming event beginning in late 2024 and continuing until mid 2025. Its pre-dimming spectral en…
