The galactic double – mode Cepheids
By considering the least–squares fits of the double–mode Cepheid light curves discussed in Paper I we defined their properties by their Fourier parameters and generalized phase differences G i,j. When plotting the latter quantities as a function of the respective order, the second order terms are confined in the region just below 3/2π; the third order terms have π/2 < G i,j < π, the fourth orde...
متن کاملHipparcos Parallaxes and Proper Motions of Cepheids and Their Implications *
A summary is given of an analysis of the Hippar-cos trigonometrical parallaxes and proper motions of classical Cepheids. It is possible for the first time to derive zero-points for the period-luminosity and period-luminosity-colour relations from paral-laxes alone, avoiding the problems of less direct methods. The results imply an increase of 8 to 10 percent in the extragalactic distance scale ...
متن کاملHipparcos Parallaxes of the Nearest Cepheids { Implicative of Binarity
The period{luminosity relation of Cepheids is calibrated on the basis of the Hipparcos trigonometric parallax values, using data on Cepheids within one kiloparsec. It is shown that the milliarcsec-size apparent orbit of Cepheids belonging to binary systems has an unfavourable innuence on the parallax determination. About two third of the sample studied here have physical companion(s). The true ...
متن کاملGAIA survey of galactic eclipsing binaries
General importance and capabilities of observations of eclipsing binaries by the forthcoming ESA mission GAIA are discussed. Availability of spectroscopic observations and a large number of photometric bands on board will make it possible to reliably determine physical parameters for ∼ 10 binary stars. It is stressed that current methods of object by object analysis will have to be modified and...
متن کاملLearning about Galactic structure with Gaia astrometry
The Gaia mission is reviewed together with the expected contents of the final catalogue. It is then argued that the ultimate goal of Galactic structure studies with Gaia astrometry should be to build a dynamical model of our galaxy which is capable of explaining the contents of the Gaia catalogue. This will be possible only by comparing predicted catalogue data to Gaia’s actual measurements. To...
