Revisiting candidates for non-pulsating stars located in the Cepheid instability strip in the Large Magellanic Cloud

W. Narloch, C. Galan, G. Pietrzynski +5

We analyzed photometric and spectroscopic data for 11 candidates for non-pulsating stars located in the Cepheid instability strip (IS) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in order…

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…

Reconstruction of Cepheid Radial Velocity Curves from the shape of the V-band Light Curves

V. Hocdé, P. Moskalik, N. Nardetto +17

This paper aims to develop the first method to reconstruct the shape of the RV curves of short-period fundamental-mode Cepheids, based exclusively on their pulsation period and the…
