Period-Luminosity relation for short period Cepheids towards the SMC

نویسنده

چکیده

We present the Period{Luminosity relation from 290 Cepheids toward the LMC and 597 Cepheids towards the SMC respectively obtained from the monitoring of 1.134.000 and 504.000 stars over 150 nights using the two 4k 8k CCD camera of the Eros2 microlensing project. A slope break of the Period{Luminosity relation has been observed for SMC fundamental mode Cepheids with periods smaller than 2 days. Diierent possible experimental biases, which could explain this eeect have been investigated and could be discarded. This observed slope break could be due to evolutionary eeects combined with convection eeects.

New period - luminosity and period - color relations of classical Cepheids III . Cepheids in SMC

The photometric data for 460 classical, fundamental-mode Cepheids in the SMC with log P > 0.4 measured by Udalski et al. have been analyzed for their period-color (P-C) and period-luminosity (P-L) relations, and for the variation of amplitude across the instability strip in a similar way that was done in Papers I and II of this series. The SMC Cepheids are bluer in (B−V) 0 at a given period tha...

On the second overtone stability among SMC Cepheids

We present a new set of Cepheid, full amplitude, nonlinear, convective models which are pulsationally unstable in the second overtone (SO). Hydrodynamical models were constructed by adopting a chemical composition typical for Cepheids in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and stellar masses ranging from 3.25 to 4 M⊙. Predicted φ21 Fourier parameters agree, within current uncertainties, with empir...

Period-colour and amplitude-colour relations in classical Cepheid variables IV: The multi-phase relations

The superb phase resolution and quality of the OGLE data on LMC and SMC Cepheids, together with existing data on Galactic Cepheids, are combined to study the period-colour (PC) and amplitude-colour (AC) relations as a function of pulsation phase. Our results confirm earlier work that the LMC PC relation (at mean light) is more consistent with two lines of differing slopes, separated at a period...

New Period-Luminosity and Period-Color Relations of Classical Cepheids: I. Cepheids in the Galaxy

321 Galactic fundamental-mode Cepheids with good B,V , and (in most cases) I photometry by Berdnikov et al. (2000) and with homogenized color excesses E(B−V) based on Fernie et al. (1995) are used to determine their period-color (P-C) relation in the range 0.4 < log P ∼ < 1.6. The agreement with colors from different model calculations is good to poor. – Distances of 25 Cepheids in open cluster...

Using Ultra Long Period Cepheids to Extend the Cosmic Distance Ladder to 100 Mpc and Beyond

We examine the properties of 18 long period (80 − 210 days) and very luminous (median absolute magnitude of MI = −7.86 and MV = −6.97) Cepheids to see if they can serve as an useful distance indicator. We find that these Ultra Long Period (ULP) Cepheids have a relatively shallow Period-Luminosity (PL) relation, so in fact they are more “standard candle”-like than classical Cepheids. In the redd...
