Empirical H- and K-band Limb Darkening for 31 CHARA Stars: A Near-Infrared Benchmark for Stellar-Atmosphere Models
Narsireddy Anugu, John D. Monnier, Antoine Mérand +9
Limb darkening, the decrease in stellar intensity from the disk center to the limb, encodes the temperature structure and opacity of stellar atmospheres. Direct spatially resolved…
Pre-nova Observations of T CrB: A view from the CHARA Array
Ryan Norris, Narsireddy Anugu, Thomas Gaudin +38
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova consisting of a red giant and white dwarf with recent eruptions in 1866 and 1946 and an anticipated eruption in the mid 2020s. We report CHARA A…
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…
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…
Surface brightness-colour relations of Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds classical Cepheids based on Gaia magnitudes
M. C. Bailleul, N. Nardetto, V. Hocdé +12
Aims: We derive SBCRs for classical Cepheids in the Milky Way and in the Magellanic Clouds using the photometric data available in the Gaia database, and we quantify the metallicit…
Distance to the Globular Cluster M 3 from the Infrared Surface Brightness Technique applied to RR Lyrae stars
BartÅomiej Zgirski, Wolfgang Gieren, Grzegorz PietrzyÅski +10
The Infrared Surface Brightness (IRSB) technique is a specific application of the Baade-Wesselink method. Given a proper calibration, well covered optical and near-infrared photome…
