摘要:

本文利用Spitzer望远镜在3.6,4.5,5.8和8.0 μ m波段观测到的70颗造父变星的双历元数据,对大麦云(LMC)造父变星的中红外周期-亮度关系进行了修正和改进。在所有波长下观测到的散射从+/-0.17等减少到+/-0.14等,这与预测完全一致,即总散射由光变曲线的随机采样和不稳定带上几乎均匀的恒星采样的贡献大致相等。据计算,该样本中的造父变星具有约0.4等的全振幅,并且其完全采样的时间平均星等最终应揭示中红外PL关系,每个都具有至多在+/-0.12等水平的固有散射,并且在校正LMC的倾斜后低至+/-0.08等。

英文摘要:

We present revised and improved mid-infrared Period-Luminosity (PL) relations for Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Cepheids based on double-epoch data of 70 Cepheids observed by Spitzer at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0um. The observed scatter at all wavelengths is found to decrease from +/-0.17 mag to +/-0.14 mag, which is fully consistent with the prediction that the total scatter is made up of roughly equal contributions from random sampling of the light curve and nearly-uniform samplings of stars across the instability strip. It is calculated that the Cepheids in this sample have a full amplitude of about 0.4 mag and that their fully-sampled, time-averaged magnitudes should eventually reveal mid-infrared PL relations that each have intrinsic scatter at most at the +/-0.12 mag level, and as low as +/-0.08 mag after correcting for the tilt of the LMC.
