Interstellar extinction of classical Cepheids from neighboring stars I. Methodology and application to 16 Galactic Cepheids
Wilma Kiviaho, Pierre Kervella, Mika Juvela +21
Galactic Cepheid variable stars are fundamental calibrators of the cosmic distance scale through their Period-Luminosity (PL) relation. The high-precision parallaxes expected from…
GIARPS simultaneous optical and infrared high-spectral-resolution observations of Cepheids I. Limb darkening from cross-correlated radial velocities
N. Nardetto, R. S. Rathour, M. C. Bailleul +17
The Baade-Wesselink method, while theoretically applicable for calibrating the distance scale via Cepheids, is not currently employed in the cosmic distance ladder. There are vario…
Multi-chromatic observations of classical Cepheids using the CHARA Array interferometer: Surface brightness-colour relation, projection factor, and limb-darkening
M. C. Bailleul, N. Nardetto, D. Mourard +28
The Baade-Wesselink (BW) method compares the linear and angular variations of Cepheids to derive their distance. This method is limited, however, by the projection factor, which re…
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…
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…
Reddening maps of the Magellanic Clouds using spectral energy distribution fitting of red giants
H. Netzel, G. Pietrzyński, M. Górski +9
Robust reddening maps of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC/SMC) are crucial for a wide range of astrophysical studies, including the calibration of the cosmic distance lad…
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…
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…
Toward Early-type Eclipsing Binaries as Extragalactic Milestones: First Calibration of the SBCR from O- and B-type Stars in Detached Eclipsing Binaries
Mónica Taormina, G. Pietrzyński, B. Pilecki +4
To measure precise distances beyond the Magellanic Clouds and determine an accurate value of the Hubble constant, eclipsing binary systems composed of early-type stars can play a c…
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…
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…
