Gaia Data Release 2: All-sky classification of high-amplitude pulsating stars

L. Rimoldini, B. Holl, M. Audard +23

More than half a million of the 1.69 billion sources in Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) are published with photometric time series that exhibit light variations during the 22 months of o…

A re-classification of Cepheids in the Gaia Data Release 2

V. Ripepi, R. Molinaro, I. Musella +3

Classical Cepheids are the most important primary indicators for the extragalactic distance scale. Establishing the precise zero points of their Period-Luminosity and Period-Wesenh…

A geometrical 1% distance to the short-period binary Cepheid V1334 Cygni

A. Gallenne, P. Kervella, N. R. Evans +18

Cepheid stars play a considerable role as extragalactic distances indicators, thanks to the simple empirical relation between their pulsation period and their luminosity. They over…

Gaia Data Release 2: Rotational modulation in late-type dwarfs

A. C. Lanzafame, E. Distefano, S. Messina +11

We present the methods devised to identify the BY Dra variables candidates in Gaia DR2 and infer their variability parameters. BY Dra candidates are pre-selected from their positio…

Gaia Data Release 2: Specific characterisation and validation of all-sky Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars

G. Clementini, V. Ripepi, R. Molinaro +21

The Gaia second Data Release (DR2) presents a first mapping of full-sky RR Lyrae stars and Cepheids observed by the spacecraft during the initial 22 months of science operations. T…
