Highlights on eclipsing binary variables from Araucaria Project

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The Araucaria Project, which main goal is to provide precise determination of the cosmic distance scale, has recently made a set of discoveries involving variable stars in binary systems. Among these discoveries we highlight three: 1% precise measurement

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 ...

Synthetic Population of Binary Cepheids. II. The Effect of Companion Light on the Extragalactic Distance Scale

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 .

Cepheids and other variable stars and the distance to the Galactic Centre [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012
AbstractWe review and discuss results of our survey of variable stars towards the Galactic Centre and their distances. In our near-infrared monitoring survey using IRSF/SIRIUS, we detected a number of Miras and Cepheids (both classical and type II) within 20 arcmin of the Galactic Centre.

Faint (and bright) variable stars in the satellites of the Milky Way

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
I describe two ongoing projects related with variable stars in the satellites of the MilkyWay. In the first project, we are searching for dwarf Cepheid stars (a.k.a δ Scuti and/or SX Phe) in some of the classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Our goal is to

High-resolution Spectroscopic Metallicities of Milky Way Cepheid Standards and Their Impact on the Leavitt Law and the Hubble Constant

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Milky Way Cepheid variables with accurate Hubble Space Telescope photometry have been established as standards for primary calibration of the cosmic distance ladder to achieve a percent-level determination of the Hubble constant ( H _0 ).

The detection of a companion star to the Cepheid variable Eta Aquilae

The Astrophysical Journal, 1980
Ultraviolet spectra have been obtained with IUE of the classical Cepheid Eta Aquilae at several phases in the 7.18 day period. Significant ultraviolet emission is detected at wavelengths less than 1600 A, where little flux is expected from classical Cepheids.

Discovery of the Longest-period Classical Cepheid in the Milky Way

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We 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 ...

Chemotherapy‐Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Early Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Adjuvant Chemotherapy With Fluorouracil, Epirubicin, Cyclophosphamide Followed by Docetaxel Versus an Anthracycline‐Free Regimen With Docetaxel, Cyclophosphamide—Results From a Randomized Clinical Trial

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy‐induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) remains a significant clinical problem despite modern antiemetics. In particular, antiemetic strategies for emerging cancer therapies lack detailed evaluation. This randomized trial analyzed hourly CINV data for patients with early breast cancer who received either docetaxel plus cyclophosphamide (TC) or ...

Milky Way Classical Cepheid Distances from Calibrated Infrared Period–Luminosity–Metallicity Relations

The Astrophysical Journal
Classical Cepheids (DCEPs) serve as fundamental standard candles for measuring cosmic distances and investigating the structure and evolution of the Milky Way disk.
