Hubble Space TelescopeFine Guidance Sensor Parallaxes of Galactic Cepheid Variable Stars: Period-Luminosity Relations [PDF]
, 2007 We present new absolute trigonometric parallaxes and relative proper motions for nine Galactic Cepheid variable stars: ℓ Car, ζ Gem, β Dor, W Sgr, X Sgr, Y Sgr, FF Aql, T Vul, and RT Aur.

A three-dimensional map of the Milky Way using classical Cepheid variable stars [PDF]
Science, 2019 Cepheids help to map the Galaxy Cepheid variable stars pulsate, which allows their distances to be determined from the periodic variations in brightness. Skowron et al. constructed a catalog of thousands of Cepheids covering a large fraction of the Milky

Three classical Cepheid variable stars in the nuclear bulge of the Milky Way [PDF]
Nature, 2011 The nuclear bulge is a region with a radius of about 200 parsecs around the centre of the Milky Way. It contains stars with ages ranging from a few million years to over a billion years, yet its star-formation history and the triggering process for star ...

Discovery of the Longest-period Classical Cepheid in the Milky Way [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe report the discovery of the classical Cepheid OGLE-GD-CEP-1884 (= GDS_J1535467-555656) with the longest pulsation period known in our Galaxy. The period of 78.14 days is nearly 10 days longer than that of the previous record-holding Cepheid, S ...

The evolution of the Galactic nuclear bulge traced by Cepheid variable stars [PDF]
, 2012 The Galactic nuclear bulge hosts significant populations of young stars, within a few hundred parsecs around the Galactic Centre, unlike the more extended bulge.

The OGLE Collection of Variable Stars. Classical, Type II, and Anomalous\n Cepheids toward the Galactic Center [PDF]
, 2017 We present a collection of classical, type II, and anomalous Cepheids detected in the OGLE fields toward the Galactic center. The sample contains 87 classical Cepheids pulsating in one, two or three radial modes, 924 type II Cepheids divided into BL Her,

Variable Stars in M13. III. The Cepheid Variables and their Relation to Evolutionary Changes in Metal-poor BL Her Stars [PDF]
, 2019 New CCD photometry has been combined with published and unpublished earlier observations to study the three Cepheid variables in M13: V1, V2 and V6. The light curve characteristics in $B$, $V$ and $I_{\rm C}$ have been determined and the periods updated.
