Independent Distance Determinations to Milky Way Cepheids in Open Clusters: A progress report on four stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We have undertaken a programme to calibrate the Cepheid PL relation zero-point by obtaining distances of Cepheids in open clusters and associations via the visual surface brightness technique. Results are now available for four stars (SZ Tau, CF Cas, CV Mon and DL Cas) and others are currently under analysis. Preliminary results suggest the ‘ZAMS-fitting’ distances to the host clusters are systematically smaller than those we derive from Cepheid surface brightnesses.
