Period-luminosity Relations Derived from the Ogle-iii Fundamental Mode Cepheids

چکیده
In this Paper, we have derived Cepheid period-luminosity (P-L) relations for the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) fundamental mode Cepheids, based on the data released from OGLE-III. We have applied an extinction map to correct for the extinction of these Cepheids. In addition to the V IW band P-L relations, we also include JHK and four Spitzer IRAC band P-L relations, derived by matching the OGLE-III Cepheids to the 2MASS and SAGE datasets, respectively. We also test the non-linearity of the Cepheid P-L relations based on extinction-corrected data. Our results (again) show that the LMC P-L relations are non-linear in V IJH bands and linear in KW and the four IRAC bands, respectively. Subject headings: Cepheids — distance scale

The VMC Survey . VIII . First results for Anomalous Cepheids ⋆
The VISTA near-infrared Y JKs survey of the Magellanic Clouds System (VMC, PI M.-R. L. Cioni) is collecting deep Ks–band time–series photometry of the pulsating variable stars hosted in the system formed by the two Magellanic Clouds and the Bridge connecting them. In this paper we present for the first time Ks–band light curves for Anomalous Cepheid (AC) variables. In particular, we have analys...
متن کاملPeriod-Luminosity Relations for Type II Cepheids and their Application
JHKs magnitudes corrected to mean intensity are estimated for LMC type II Cepheids in the OGLE-III survey. Period-luminosity (PL) relations are derived in JHKs as well as in a reddening-free V I parameter. Within the uncertainties the BL Her stars (P < 4 d) and the W Vir stars (P = 4 to 20 d) are co-linear in these PL relations. The slopes of the infrared relations agree with those found previo...
متن کاملOn the Cepheid Metallicity Dichotomy
With the aid of stellar atmosphere models, we derive iron abundances [Fe/H] from the OGLE B, V , I photometry on the Magellanic Cloud Cepheids. We show that in both clouds the average metallicities of the first overtone variables are lower than those of the fundamental ones (by ∼ 0.2 and ∼ 0.3 dex in the LMC and SMC, respectively). Consequently, there is a correlation between the overall [Fe/H]...
متن کاملPeriod Changes of Lmc Cepheids in the Ogle and Macho Data 1
Pulsation period of Cepheids should change as stars evolve through the instability strip. Rates of these changes found by other authors based on the decades-long O − C diagrams show rather good agreement with theoretical predictions. We have checked the variability on the scale of a few years on the data recently published by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) for the Large Mag...
متن کاملThe distance to the Galactic Centre based on Population II Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars ⋆
Context. The distance to the Galactic Centre (GC) is of importance for the distance scale in the Universe. The value derived by Eisenhauer et al. (2005) of 7.62 ± 0.32 kpc based on the orbit of one star around the central black hole is shorter than most other distance estimates based on a variety of different methods. Aims. To establish an independent distance to the GC with high accuracy. To t...
