Magnitudes of Fundamental - Mode Cepheids from Single - Epoch Observations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an empirical method for converting single-point near-infrared J, H, and K measurements of fundamental-mode Cepheids to mean magnitudes, using complete light curves in V or I bands. The algorithm is based on the template light curves in the near-infrared bandpasses. The mean uncertainty of the method is estimated to about 0.03 mag, which is smaller than the uncertainties obtained in other approaches to the problem in the literature.

متن کاملSAGE-Var: An Infrared Survey of Variability in the Magellanic Clouds
We present the first results from the SAGE-Var program, a follow on to the Spitzer legacy program Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (SAGE; Meixner et al. 2006). We obtained 4 epochs of photometry at 3.6 & 4.5μm covering the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the central region of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in order to probe the variability of extremely red sources missed b...
متن کاملThe Cepheid Period - Luminosity Relation ( The Leavitt Law ) at Mid - Infrared Wavelengths : IV . Cepheids in IC 1613
We present mid-infrared Period-Luminosity relations for Cepheids in the Local Group galaxy IC 1613. Using archival IRAC imaging data from Spitzer we were able to measure single-epoch magnitudes for five, 7 to 50-day, Cepheids at 3.6 and 4.5μm. When fit to the calibrating relations, measured for the Large Magellanic Cloud Cepheids, the data give apparent distance moduli of 24.29±0.07 and 24.28±0...
متن کاملDetermination of the Distance to M33 Based on Single Epoch I-band Hst Observations of Cepheids
We have determined the distance to M33 using single epoch I-band observations of Cepheids based on HST/WFPC2 images of five fields in M33. Combining the HST I-band photometry and the periods determined from the ground-based observations (DIRECT) for 21 Cepheids with logP > 0.8 in the sample of 32 Cepheids, we derive a distance modulus of (m−M)0 = 24.52±0.14(random)±0.13(systematic) for an adopt...
متن کاملThe Cepheid Period-Luminosity Relation at Mid-Infrared Wavelengths: I. First-Epoch LMC Data
We present the first mid-infrared Period-Luminosity (PL) relations for Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Cepheids. Single-epoch observations of 70 Cepheids were extracted from Spitzer IRAC observations at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 μm, serendipitously obtained during the SAGE (Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy’s Evolution) imaging survey of the LMC. All four mid-infrared PL relations have nearly identical...
