Metallicity estimates of Galactic Cepheids based on Walraven photometry
S. Pedicelli, J. Lub, J. W. Pel +13
We present new empirical and theoretical calibrations of two photometric metallicity indices based on Walraven photometry. The empirical calibration relies on a sample of 48 Cephei…
Cepheids as tracers of the metallicity gradient across the Galactic disk
B. Lemasle, A. Piersimoni, S. Pedicelli +4
We present iron abundance measurements, based on high resolution spectroscopy, and accurate distance determinations, based on near infrared photometry, for 34 Galactic Cepheids. Th…
Stroemgren metallicity calibration: the m1, b-y relation
A. Calamida, G. Bono, P. B. Stetson +15
We performed a new calibration of the Stroemgren metallicity index m1 based on the b-y color of cluster red giant stars. The current Metallicity-Index-Color relation is not linear…
The Metallicity dependence of the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation: methodology and results
Marta Mottini, Martino Romaniello, Francesca Primas +3
We present the results of an observational campaign undertaken to assess the influence of the iron content on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation. Our data indicate that this de…
First stars VI - Abundances of C, N, O, Li, and mixing in extremely metal-poor giants. Galactic evolution of the light elements
M. Spite, R. Cayrel, B. Plez +11
We have investigated the poorly-understood origin of nitrogen in the early Galaxy by determining N abundances in 35 extremely metal-poor halo giants (22 stars have [Fe/H]<-3.0) usi…
The Effect of Metallicity on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity Relation
Martino Romaniello, Francesca Primas, Marta Mottini +1
We present preliminary results of an observational campaign devoted at establishing the influence of chemical composition on the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation. The data are in…
