Type II Cepheids in Eclipsing Binary Systems

Project description

The presence of type II Cepheids in eclipsing binaries give us the same opportunity for studying the physics and evolution of these stars in unprecedented detail. Although not as famous as classical Cepheids, type II Cepheids are also being used as distance indicators, and sometimes are indispensable, as classical Cepheids (being young stars) are not present in all types of galaxies and stellar systems. Their evolution is also more mysterious and our understanding of their origin, structure and pulsations is more limited. The results for the first candidate for such a system were published in 2017, but it appeared that it may be a slightly different object with the mass somewhere in between that of classical and type II Cepheids. The first system containg a genuine type II Cepheid was eventually analyzed and published in 2018. I'm leading this project from the beginning, when it started in 2015.
