- Description:
- 321 Galactic fundamental-mode Cepheids with good B,V,I photometry by Berdnikov et al. (2000, Cat. <J/A+AS/143/211>) and with homogenized color excesses E(B-V) based on Fernie et al. (1995IBVS.4148....1F) are used to determine their period-colour relation in the range 0.4<log P<1.6. Distances of 25 Cepheids in open clusters (Feast, 1999PASP..111..775F) and of 28 Cepheids with BBW distances (Gieren et al., 1998ApJ...496...17G) are used in a first step to determine the absorption coefficients R_B_=4.17, R_V_=3.17, and R_I_=1.89. The two sets define two independent P-L relations which agree very well in slope. They are therefore combined into a single mean Galactic P-L relation.

- Description:
- We present the Johnson-Cousins B,V and I time series data obtained for 162 variable stars (135 RR Lyrae, 4 candidate Anomalous Cepheids, 11 Classical Cepheids, 11 eclipsing binaries and 1 delta Scuti star) in two 13x13 square arcmin areas close to the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The photometric observations presented in this paper were carried out at the 1.54m Danish telescope located in La Silla, Chile, on the nights 4-7 January 1999, UT, and 23-24 January 2001, UT, respectively. In the paper we give coordinates, finding charts, periods, epochs, amplitudes, and mean quantities (intensity- and magnitude-averaged luminosities) of the variables with full coverage of the light variations, along with a discussion of the pulsation properties of the RR Lyrae stars in the sample.

- Description:
- We present a catalogue with coordinates and photometric data of 2446 Be star candidates in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), based on a search of the OGLE II data base. The I-band light curves of these stars show outbursts in 24% of the sample (Type-1 stars), high and low states in 10%, periodic variations in 6% (Type-3 stars), and stochastic variations in 60% of the cases. We report on the result of the statistical study of light curves of Type-1 and Type-3 stars in the LMC, and the comparison with the previously reported results of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) sample.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present initial results from a time series BVI survey of two fields in NGC 4258 using the HST ACS. This galaxy was selected because of its accurate maser-based distance, which is anticipated to have a total uncertainty of 3%. The goal of the HST observations is to provide an absolute calibration of the Cepheid distance scale and to measure its dependence on chemical abundance (the so-called metallicity effect). We carried out observations of two fields at different galactocentric distances with a mean abundance difference of 0.5dex. We discovered a total of 281 Cepheids with periods ranging from 4 to 45 days (the duration of our observing window).

- CDS
- Description:
- We present the Catalog of Cepheids from the LMC. The Catalog contains 1333 objects detected in the 4.5 square degree area of central parts of the LMC. About 3.4*10^5^ BVI measurements of these stars were collected during the OGLE-II microlensing survey. The Catalog data include period, BVI photometry, astrometry, and R_21_, phi_21_ parameters of the Fourier decomposition of I-band light curve. The vast majority of objects from the Catalog are the classical Cepheids pulsating in the fundamental or first overtone mode. The remaining objects include Population II Cepheids and red giants with pulsation-like light curves. Tests of completeness performed in overlapping parts of adjacent fields indicate that completeness of the Catalog is very high: >96%. Statistics and distributions of basic parameters of Cepheids are also presented. Finally, we show the light curves of three eclipsing systems containing Cepheid detected among objects of the Catalog. All presented data, including individual BVI observations are available from the OGLE Internet archive at URL: ftp://sirius.astrouw.edu.pl/ogle/ogle2/var_stars/lmc/cep/catalog/

- Description:
- We present the Catalog of Cepheids from the SMC which contains data for 2049 objects detected in the 2.4 square degree area of central parts of the SMC. For each object period, BVI photometry, astrometry, and R_21_, {phi}_21_ parameters of the Fourier decomposition of I-band light curve are provided. The Catalog is based on observations collected during the OGLE-II microlensing survey. Tests of completeness performed in overlapping parts of adjacent fields indicate that completeness of the Catalog is very high: approx 92%. Statistics and distributions of basic parameters of Cepheids are also presented. All presented data, including individual BVI observations (approx 4.7*10^5^ BVI measurements), are available from the OGLE Internet archive at URL: ftp://sirius.astrouw.edu.pl/ogle/ogle2/var_stars/smc/cep/catalog

- Description:
- The DIRECT project aims to determine direct distances to two important galaxies in the cosmological distance ladder - M31 and M33 - using detached eclipsing binaries (DEBs) and Cepheids. We present the results of the first large-scale CCD-based search for variables in M33. We have observed two fields located in the central region of M33 for a total of 95 nights on the F. L. Whipple Observatory 1.2 m telescope and 36 nights on the Michigan-Dartmouth-MIT 1.3 m telescope. We have found a total of 544 variables, including 251 Cepheids and 47 eclipsing binaries. The catalog of variables is available on-line, along with finding charts and BVI light curve data (consisting of 8.2x10^4^ individual measurements). The complete set of CCD frames is available upon request.

- Description:
- The W UMa system V728 Her has been observed photometrically in B, V, and I_c passbands at the RAO over five seasons and spectroscopically at DAO over three seasons to obtain radial velocities. New times of minima are provided and a period analysis confirms previous ephemerides. The light and radial velocity curves were analyzed with the latest University of Calgary enhancements to the Wilson-Devinney program and new solutions found. The best model is that involving a contact system with convective atmospheres. In probing the best solution possible, use was made of the enhanced reflection and second-order limb-darkening calculations available in the 1993 version of the WD program. The mass ratio is found to be 0.1786+/-0.0023. The contact parameter is found to be f=0.71+/-0.11. The masses are determined to be 1.654+/-0.037M_{sun}_ and 0.295+/-0.009M_{sun}_ and the radii are 1.784+/-0.015R_{sun}_ and 0.867+/-0.054R_{sun}_, respectively. The determined temperature difference, T2-T1 is 165+/-19K, and the luminosities for components 1 and 2 are 5.5+/-0.5L_{sun}_ and 1.4+/-0.3L_{sun}_, respectively.

- Description:
- Cepheids, the principal distance indicators, point to the existence of two inner Galactic spiral arms in the immediate solar neighborhood (within 5kpc). However, the available Cepheids are clearly insufficient for a detailed study of the structure of these arms. Fortunately, southern-sky monitoring (the ASAS project) has led to the discovery of many new variable stars, more than one thousand of which have been identified as possible Cepheids. To improve the classification and to construct reliable light curves for new Cepheids, we have begun their regular photometric observations. Here, we present the first results: 1192 photoelectric BVIc observations were performed for 33 classicalCepheidswith the 76-cm telescope of the South-African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO, the South-African Republic) from December 2006 to January 2008.We provide tables of observations and V light and B-V and V-Ic color curves. The new observations together with ASAS-3 data have been used to improve the elements of the light variations.

- Description:
- The results of extensive time-series photometry of a new variable star, 2MASS 06451725+4122158, are presented. The B, V observations (over 4000 individual measurements) were made over 23 nights between 2006 and 2007. To investigate the star's physical characteristics additional Stroemgren photometric observations (uvbyHbeta) were made on another four nights in 2007 and 2009. Thirteen frequencies were found from a multifrequency analysis of the V and B photometry. All but two of the frequencies, 19.99716cycles/d (corresponding to the pulsation period of 0.0500071d) and 25.84662cycles/d (0.0386898d), have been identified as combination frequencies.
