摘要:

红外和光学绝对星等是由修正的依巴谷星等和脉动星等分别导出的。根据2MASS资料,给出了142个RR型Lyrics变星的相位校正JHK图。在经典的造父变星模数(18.39)下,与LMC RR天琴座相比,RR天琴座本身过于明亮,与加泰罗尼亚和科尔特斯的预测一致。V553 Cen和SW Tau与基于相同LMC模数的零点的球状星团II型造父变星的松永PL(K)关系的平均偏差仅为0.02等。直接比较这两颗恒星与II型造父变星在大麦哲伦星云和银河隆起的位置,得到大麦哲伦星云的模数为18.37 \pm 0.09,到银河中心的距离为7.64 \pm 0.21 kpc。Kappa Pav可以是二进制的。V553 Cen和SW Tau的研究表明,在可见光波长下,场星的PL关系比球状星团的PL关系更宽。

英文摘要:

Infrared and optical absolute magnitudes are derived for the type II Cepheids kappa Pav and VY Pyx from revised Hipparcos parallaxes and for kappa Pav, V553 Cen and SW Tau from pulsation parallaxes. Phase-corrected JHK mags are given for 142 RR Lyrae variables based on 2MASS data. RR Lyrae itself is overluminous compared with LMC RR Lyraes at the classical Cepheid modulus (18.39) consistent with a prediction of Catalan and Cortes. V553 Cen and SW Tau deviate by only 0.02 mag in the mean from the Matsunaga PL(K) relation for globular cluster type II Cepheids with a zero-point based on the same LMC modulus. Comparing directly these two stars with type II Cepheids in the LMC and in the Galactic Bulge leads to an LMC modulus of 18.37\pm0.09 and a distance to the Galactic Centre of 7.64\pm 0.21kpc. Kappa Pav may be a binary. V553 Cen and SW Tau show that at optical wavelengths PL relations are wider for field stars than for those in globular clusters (abridged).
