Photometry of 40 LMC Cepheids
نویسنده
چکیده
We present V and Ic CCD photometry for 40 LMC Cepheids at 1 to 3 epochs. This represents a significant increase in the number of LMC Cepheids with I-band data, and, as we show, is a useful addition to the sample which can be used to calibrate the period–luminosity relations in these important bands.

New Period - Luminosity and Period - Color Relations of Classical Cepheids : II . Cepheids in LMC
Photometric data for 593 Cepheids in the LMC, measured by Udalski et al. in the OGLE survey, augmented by 92 longer period Cepheids from other sources, are analyzed for the period-color (P-C) and period-luminosity (P-L) relations, and for the variations of amplitude, light curve shape, and period across the instability strip at constant absolute magnitude. Both the P-C and P-L relations have di...
متن کاملThe metallicity dependence of the Cepheid PL-relation
A sample of 37 Galactic, 10 LMC and 6 SMC cepheids is compiled for which individual metallicity estimates exist and BV IK photometry in almost all cases. The Galactic cepheids all have an individual distance estimate available. For the MC objects different sources of photometry are combined to obtain improved periods and mean magnitudes. A multiparameter Period-Luminosity relation is fitted to ...

We present a detailed study of the viewing angles and geometry of the inner LMC ( P 4 ) based on a sample of more than 2000 MACHO Cepheids with complete {VR}KC light curves and single-phase Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) JHKs observations. The sample is considerably larger than any previously studied subset of LMC Cepheids and has an improved areal coverage. Single-epoch random-phase 2MASS p...
متن کاملNew Period-Luminosity and Period-Color Relations of Classical Cepheids: I. Cepheids in the Galaxy
321 Galactic fundamental-mode Cepheids with good B,V , and (in most cases) I photometry by Berdnikov et al. (2000) and with homogenized color excesses E(B−V) based on Fernie et al. (1995) are used to determine their period-color (P-C) relation in the range 0.4 < log P ∼ < 1.6. The agreement with colors from different model calculations is good to poor. – Distances of 25 Cepheids in open cluster...

The VISTA Magellanic Cloud (VMC, PI M.-R. L.

In this paper we present the first results for Classical Cepheids, from the VMC observations of two fields in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), centred on the So...
