Gaia Focused Product Release: Sources from Service Interface Function image analysis Half a million new sources in omega Centauri

Context.Gaia's readout window strategy is challenged by very dense fields in the sky. Therefore, in addition to standard Gaia observations, full Sky Mapper (SM) images were recorded for nine selected regions in the sky. A new software pipeline exploits the ...

The eta Aquilae System: Radial Velocities and Astrometry in Search of eta Aql B

Richard Irving Anderson

The classical Cepheid eta Aql was not included in past Leavitt Law work because of a presumed complicating orbit due to a known B9.8V companion. To determine the orbit of eta Aql B, we analyze a significant number of radial velocity (RV) measurements from ...

Discovery of a Binary-origin Classical Cepheid in a Binary System with a 59 day Orbital Period

Richard Irving Anderson

We report the discovery of a surprising binary configuration of the double-mode Cepheid OGLE-LMC-CEP-1347 pulsating in the first (P-1= 0.690 days) and second-overtone (P-2= 0.556 days) modes. The orbital period (P-orb= 59 days) of the system is five times ...

Cepheids with Giant Companions. I. Revealing a Numerous Population of Double-lined Binary Cepheids* (dagger)

Richard Irving Anderson

Masses of classical Cepheids of 3-11 M are predicted by theory but those measured clump between 3.6-5 M. As a result, their mass-luminosity relation is poorly constrained, impeding our understanding of basic stellar physics and the Leavitt Law. All Cepheid ...

H0LiCOW XII. Lens mass model of WFI2033-4723 and blind measurement of its time-delay distance and H-0

Frédéric Courbin, Vivien François Bonvin, Hung-Hsu Chan

We present the lens mass model of the quadruply-imaged gravitationally lensed quasar WFI2033 - 4723, and perform a blind cosmographical analysis based on this system. Our analysis combines (1) time-delay measurements from 14 yr of data obtained by the COSm ...

Testing parallaxes with local Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars

Stephan Morgenthaler, Mikaël Martino, Shuangqing Liao

Context. Parallaxes for 331 classical Cepheids, 31 Type II Cepheids, and 364 RR Lyrae stars in common between Gaia and the HIPPARCOS and Tycho-2 catalogues are published in Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) as part of the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS). Ai ...

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Yves Revaz, Malte Tewes

We present accurate time delays for the quadruply imaged quasar HE 0435-1223. The delays were measured from 575 independent photometric points obtained in the R-band between January 2004 and March 2010. With seven years of data, we clearly show that quasar ...
