Projection factor and radii of nearby BL Her stars
Type II Cepheids might be an attractive alternative to classical Cepheids regarding the projection factor (p-factor), which is a crucial parameter in the Baade-Wesselink technique to determine the distance.
International Araucaria Meeting 2024, Paris, France
This year the extended Araucaria group met at the Observatoire de Paris, France, where the members presented their recent projects and discussed the future of the extragalactic distance scale.
Nine Cepheid-Cepheid binaries confirmed spectroscopically
Newly discovered nine binary systems consisting of two Cepheids shed more light on the evolution of multiple systems, and reveal their merger origin.
Physical properties of the quadruple system with early-type eclipsing binary
An early-type eclipsing binary turns out to be a hierarchical quadruple system. Analysis of its complex configuration, although not easy, yields masses, radii, and temperatures of the inner binary, and mass estimations of the two outermost components.
