Bump Cepheids and the Stellar Mass-Luminosity Relation
We present the results of non-linear pulsation modeling of bump Cepheids in the LMC and SMC. By obtaining an optimal fit to the observed MACHO V and R lightcurves we can determine the fundamental parameters of each Cepheid, namely mass, luminosity, effective temperature, distance modulus and reddening. We are able to describe the mass-luminosity relation for core-He burning intermediate mass st...
متن کاملMass-luminosity relation of low mass stars
The data on dynamic masses and multicolor photometry of 56 M-type components of binary/multiple systems was collected. Critical evaluation of late type stars bolometric correction scales have been performed. Our refined and reduced data is comparedwith published empirical and theoreticalmassluminosity relations. Our data does not exclude the existence of a step-like feature at MV = 12m. The bes...
متن کاملThe Stellar Mass Function
Since the major review by Scalo (1986), significant progress has been achieved in constraining the mass function (MF) of low-mass stars. The break-throughs which today allow a much better understanding of the stellar luminosity function (LF) and the underlying MF are documented here and the resulting MF for Galactic field stars is confronted with microlensing data, the chemical enrichment histo...
متن کاملThe optical and near-infrared properties of galaxies. I. Luminosity and stellar mass functions
We use a large sample of galaxies from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to calculate galaxy luminosity and stellar mass functions in the local Universe. We estimate corrections for passband shifting and galaxy evolution, as well as present-day stellar mass-to-light (M/L) ratios, by fitting the optical–near-infrared galaxy data with simple models. Acc...
متن کاملThe Stellar Halo in the Large Magellanic Cloud: Mass, Luminosity, and Microlensing Predictions
Recently obtained kinematic data has shown that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) possesses an old stellar halo. In order to further characterize the properties of this halo, parametric King models are fit to the surface density of RR Lyrae stars. Using data from both the MACHO and OGLE II microlensing surveys, the model fits yield the center of their distribution at α = 5 21.1±0.8, δ = −69 45 ±...
