The Araucaria Project: the Baade–Wesselink projection factor of pulsating stars and interferometric contribution to the eclipsing binaries technique of distance determination
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2013
Abstract
The international Araucaria Project aims to provide an improved local calibration of the extragalactic distance scale out to distances of a few Megaparsecs. We present a brief, up-to-date review of different results and ongoing projects to (i) better understand the Baade–Wesselink projection factor used in distance determinations based on Cepheids, and (ii) improve the eclipsing-binary technique of distance determination using CHARA/VEGA interferometric observations.
