Metallicities of Classical Cepheids in the Inner Galactic Disk
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Metallicity gradients refer to the sloped radial profiles of the metallicities of gas and stars and are commonly seen in disk galaxies. A well-defined metallicity gradient of the Galactic disk is observed particularly well with classical Cepheids, which ...

M33 Cepheids from CFHT/MegaCam Survey
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 In this paper we analyze Sloan g, r, i archival imaging data of M33 taken by Hartman et al. using MegaCam at the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope. To determine the distance to the M33 galaxy, we performed several analytical steps to identify its Cepheid ...

KIC2569073, A second Cepheid in the Kepler FOV
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 One particularly interesting new variable discovered via Kepler’s 200x200 pixel superstamp images is KIC2569073. With a period of 14.66 days and 0.04mag variability it is only the second Cepheid in the Kepler field, or a rotationally modulated variable ...

Nonthermal X-Rays from Pulsation-driven Shocks in Cepheids
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Rapid X-ray phase-dependent flux enhancement in the archetype classical Cepheid star δ Cep was observed by XMM-Newton and Chandra. We jointly analyze thermal and nonthermal components of the time-resolved X-ray spectra prior to, during, and after the ...

First Detection of Radio Emission Associated with a Classical Cepheid
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We report the detection of 15 GHz radio continuum emission associated with the classical Cepheid variable star δ Cephei ( δ Cep) based on observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array.

Parameters and Pulsation Constant of Cepheid
Particles, 2023 The analysis of fifty empirical period-radius relations and forty-three empirical period-luminosity relations is performed for the Cepheids. It is found that most of these relations have significant systematic errors.

How rotation affects masses and ages of classical Cepheids
EPJ 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

Period–Luminosity Relations for Galactic Classical Cepheids in the Sloan Bands
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the first period–luminosity (PL) and period–Wesenheit (PW) relations in the Sloan–Pan-STARRS g _P _1 r _P _1 i _P _1 bands for classical fundamental-mode Cepheids in the Milky Way.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Because of their period–luminosity relation (PLR), classical Cepheids play a key role in the calibration of the extragalactic distance scale and the determination of the Hubble–Lemaître constant H _0 .
