On the Period-Luminosity-Color Relation of Classical Cepheids
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the comparison between theoretical and empirical PL relations in V and I bands for the Large Magellanic Cloud. We found that, within the current intrinsic dispersions, theoretical predictions are in remarkable agreement with observational data. We also discuss the PLC relations in (V,B-V) and (V,V-I) as well as the dependence of distance determinations on uncertainties in colors, in reddening corrections and in metal content.

The Luminosity Scale of Cepheid Variable Stars: a Revision
The period-luminosity-color relation for classical Cepheids is discussed in terms of a recent redeterminations of the distance moduli of open clusters with Cepheid members. The distance moduli of eight clusters with well established Cepheid members were determined from Stromgren four-color and Hp photometry of the B stars. Possible sources of systematic errors in these distance moduli are discu...
متن کاملTheoretical Models for Classical Cepheids : II . Period - Luminosity , Period - Color and Period - Luminosity - Color Relations
We present and discuss theoretical predictions concerning the pulsational properties of Classical Cepheids. Masses and luminosities provided by stellar evolutionary calculations are used as input parameters of nonlinear, nonlocal and time–dependent convective pulsating models and accurate determinations of both the blue and red edge of the instability strip are derived, together with theoretica...
متن کاملTheoretical models for classical Cepheids V. Multiwavelength relations
From a theoretical study based on nonlinear, nonlocal and time-dependent convective pulsating models at varying mass and chemical composition, we present the predicted Period-Luminosity, Period-Color, Color-Color and PeriodLuminosity-Color relations in the BV RIJK bands for Classical Cepheids. All the theoretical relations are, in various degrees, metallicity dependent and the comparison with o...
متن کاملNew period - luminosity and period - color relations of classical Cepheids III . Cepheids in SMC
The photometric data for 460 classical, fundamental-mode Cepheids in the SMC with log P > 0.4 measured by Udalski et al. have been analyzed for their period-color (P-C) and period-luminosity (P-L) relations, and for the variation of amplitude across the instability strip in a similar way that was done in Papers I and II of this series. The SMC Cepheids are bluer in (B−V) 0 at a given period tha...
متن کاملPeriod-color and amplitude-color relations in classical Cepheid variables
In this paper we analyze the behavior of Galactic, LMC and SMC Cepheids in terms of period-color (PC) and amplitude-color (AC) diagrams at the phases of maximum, mean and minimum light. We find very different behavior between Galactic and Magellanic Cloud Cepheids. Motivated by the recent report of a break in LMC PC relations at 10 days (Tammann et al. 2002), we use the F-statistical test to ex...
