What “masses” for Cepheids?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
To understand the evolution of giant stars, it is important to pin down the masses for Cepheids. The 7– to 10–day “bump” Cepheids imply lower than evolutionary mass (60%). Recent theoretical work, though, indicates that for Cepheids with periods of 15 to 16 days, the best understanding of the light curves results from using evolutionary masses.
