Converging on the Cepheid Metallicity Dependence: Implications of Non-Standard Gaia Parallax Recalibration on Distance Measures
Louise Breuval, Gagandeep S. Anand, Richard I. Anderson +20
By comparing Cepheid brightnesses with geometric distance measures including Gaia EDR3 parallaxes, most recent analyses conclude metal-rich Cepheids are brighter, quantified as $γ…

Spatial Age Distribution of Classical Cepheids in Spiral Galaxies: The Cases of M31 and M33
Giulia De Somma, Marcella Marconi, Vincenzo Ripepi +5
Classical Cepheids can be used as age indicators due to well-established period-age and period-age-color relations. \citet{Desomma2021} refined these relations by including a metal…
