IR characteristics of Type II Cepheids in the LMC and in the Galaxy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
JHK observations have been obtained of Type II Cepheids in the LMC, in globular clusters, and in the galactic field. The P-L relations at J and H imply an LMC distance modulus consistent with Mv˜0.6 for RR Lyrae stars. Modest excesses at K are seen in some LMC objects. One previously reported LMC Type II Cepheid appears to be a Type I Cepheid, and two others are much redder in J-H than normal Type II Cepheids. HV11211 is a Type I Cepheid in the SMC.
