HARPS observations of nine galactic Cepheids

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The ratio of pulsation to radial velocity (the projection factor) is currently limiting the accuracy of the Baade-Wesselink method, and in particular of its interferometric version recently applied to several nearby Cepheids.

Description

This work aims at establishing a link between the line asymmetry evolution over the Cepheids' pulsation cycles and their projection factor, with the final objective to improve the accuracy of the Baade-Wesselink method for distance determinations.

We present HARPS high spectral resolution observations (R=120000) of nine galactic Cepheids: R Tra, S Cru, Y Sgr, beta Dor, zeta Gem, Y Oph, RZ Vel, l Car and RS Pup, having a good period sampling (P=3.39d to P=41.52d). We fit spectral line profiles by an asymmetric bi-Gaussian to derive radial velocity, Full-Width at Half-Maximum in the line (FWHM) and line asymmetry for all stars.
