Studies of RR Lyrae Variables in Binary Systems. I.: Evidence of a Trimodal Companion Mass Distribution
Gergely Hajdu, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Johanna Jurcsik +6
We present 87 candidates for RR Lyrae variable stars in binary systems, based on our new search using the light-travel time effect (LTTE) and observed - calculated () diagrams…
The Araucaria Project. Distances to Nine Galaxies Based on a Statistical Analysis of their Carbon Stars (JAGB Method)
Bartłomiej Zgirski, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Wolfgang Gieren +13
Our work presents an independent calibration of the J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch (JAGB) method using Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) photometric data and a custom luminosity fu…
The surface brightness - colour relations based on eclipsing binary stars and calibrated with Gaia EDR3
D. Graczyk, G. Pietrzyński, C. Gałan +23
The surface brightness -- colour relation (SBCR) is a basic tool in establishing precise and accurate distances within the Local Group. Detached eclipsing binary stars with accurat…
Cepheids with giant companions. I. Revealing a numerous population of double-lined binary Cepheids
Bogumił Pilecki, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Richard I. Anderson +5
Masses of classical Cepheids of 3 to 11 M are predicted by theory but those measured, clump between 3.6 and 5 M. As a result, their mass-luminosity relation is poorly…
The Araucaria Project: Deep near-infrared photometric maps of Local and Sculptor Group galaxies. I. Carina, Fornax, Sculptor
Paulina Karczmarek, Grzegorz Pietrzyński, Wolfgang Gieren +12
Deep near-infrared - and -band photometry of three Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Fornax, Carina, and Sculptor, is made available for the community. Until now, these…
Metallicities and ages for 35 star clusters and their surrounding fields in the Small Magellanic Cloud
W. Narloch, G. Pietrzyński, W. Gieren +13
In this work we study 35 stellar clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in order to provide their mean metallicities and ages. We also provide mean metallicities of the field…
