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…

Pulsation periods reveal tension between theoretical and empirical radii for classical Cepheids in eclipsing binary systems

O. Ziółkowska, R. Smolec, R. Singh Rathour +1

Context. With their precisely determined physical parameters, classical Cepheids in eclipsing binary systems are often used to constrain stellar evolution and pulsation theories. T…

HALO II: Constraining Hubble constant through continuum delay fitting of Fairall 9

Amit Kumar Mandal, Francisco Pozo Nuñez, Vikram Kumar Jaiswal +28

The Hubble tension remains one of the most significant unresolved problems in modern cosmology. A key question is whether it may arise from underestimated systematic uncertainties…

Toward a Comprehensive Grid of Cepheid Models with MESA. IV. Modest Effects of Rotation on Blue Loops

R. Smolec, R. Singh Rathour, V. Hocdé

Evolutionary tracks for stars, with metallicities of , , and , including rotation, are computed with Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophy…

Finding the elusive RR Lyrae companions via speckle imaging

R. Salinas, V. Kalari, G. Hajdu +25

Despite their key role in astrophysics, the binary properties of RR Lyrae stars (RRL) remain almost completely unknown since only a single RRL is confirmed as belonging to a binary…

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…
