Cepheid Distances from Interferometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Long baseline interferometry is now able to resolve the pulsational changes of the angular diameters of a significant number of Cepheids in the solar neighborhood. This allows us to apply a new version of the Baade-Wesselink method to measure their distances, for which we do not need to estimate the star’s temperature.

A 1.3% Distance to M33 from Hubble Space Telescope Cepheid Photometry

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a low-dispersion period–luminosity relation (PL) based on 154 Cepheids in Messier 33 (M33) with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry from the PHATTER survey.

Cepheid Distances to Nearby Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1995
AbstractWe have determined new Cepheid distances on a homogeneous system to nine nearby galaxies with Cepheid observations in the V bandpass, using the extensive calibration of the galactic Cepheid PL(V) relation of Gieren, Barnes & Moffett (1993).

How rotation affects masses and ages of classical Cepheids

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Classical Cepheid variable stars are both sensitive astrophysical laboratories and accurate cosmic distance tracers. We have recently investigated how the evolutionary effects of rotation impact the properties of these important stars and here provide an

SPECTROSCOPIC INVESTIGATIONS OF GALACTIC CLUSTERS WITH ASSOCIATED CEPHEID VARIABLES. III. COLLINDER 394 AND BB SGR

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2019
We present the results of a spectro- scopic and photometric investigation of 20 objects from the open cluster Collinder 394, which contains the Cepheid BB Sgr.

Connecting Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances to Type Ia Supernova Hosts: Testing the Top Rung of the Distance Ladder

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We compare infrared surface brightness fluctuation (IR SBF) distances measured in galaxies that have hosted type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to distances estimated from SNe Ia light-curve fits.

Revising the Milky Way Cepheid Calibration: Quantifying and Correcting for Previously Undetected Distance Modulus Errors in the Gaia-based Multiwavelength Period–Luminosity Relations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We examine the multiwavelength period–luminosity–color (PLC) relations for Cepheid variables in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way.

The Cepheid Distance to NGC 4414 [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 2000
AbstractA search for Cepheids in NGC 4414 has been performed using HST archive data. Accurate photometry for this galaxy is challenging due to its high surface brightness background with steep gradients and the rather low S/N of stellar point sources.

THE EXTRAGALACTIC DISTANCE SCALE WITHOUT CEPHEIDS. III. [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2008
Distances of galaxies in the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project are based on the Cepheid period-luminosity relation. An alternative basis is the tip of the red giant branch. Using archival HST data, we calibrate the infrared Tully-Fisher relation using 14 galaxies with tip of the red giant branch measurements.

Implementability of Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound for Paediatric Tuberculosis Diagnosis in Resource‐Constrained Settings: Experiences and Perspectives From Uganda

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Childhood tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, with a substantial number of cases going undiagnosed, particularly among children under five. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to reduce TB‐associated morbidity and mortality.
