Large Magellanic Cloud Globular Clusters in the Near-infrared. I. RR Lyrae in Reticulum
Anupam Bhardwaj, Susmita Das, Prashant Nishad +10
Reticulum is an old, metal-poor, and sparsely populated globular cluster in the outer regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and hosts a rich population of RR Lyrae stars. Bei…
Determination of [Fe/H] in Fundamental mode Classical Cepheids from Gaia DR3 light curve Fourier parameters
Roberto Molinaro, Vincenzo Ripepi, Marcella Marconi +9
Estimating the iron abundance ([Fe/H]) of Classical Cepheids (CCs) is crucial both for validating the cosmic distance scale through the Period-Luminosity relation and for tracing t…
Type II Cepheids: Period-Luminosity-Metallicity relations for the Population II distance scale
Susmita Das, Anupam Bhardwaj, Marcella Marconi
Type II Cepheids are a class of pulsating variable stars that play a critical role in our understanding of stellar evolution, distance measurement and tracing the structure and kin…
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…
New theoretical predictions on Type II Cepheids: towards a self consistent Pop. II distance scale
Marcella Marconi, Roberto Molinaro, Vincenzo Ripepi +7
Type II Cepheids are pulsating stars that can be used as standard candles for old stellar populations due to their characteristic Period-Luminosity and Period-Luminosity-Colour rel…
The CosmoVerse White Paper: Addressing observational tensions in cosmology with systematics and fundamental physics
Eleonora Di Valentino, Jackson Levi Said, Adam Riess +533
The standard model of cosmology has provided a good phenomenological description of a wide range of observations both at astrophysical and cosmological scales for several decades.…
