The importance of Cepheids is well known in many fields of astronomy. Section 2 introduces the Fourier decomposition, a tool to describe quantitatively the light curves of pulsating stars. Sect. 3 shows how an observational result was…
We present a comparative analysis of theoretical and observed light curves of Cepheid variables using Fourier decomposition. The theoretical light curves at multiple wavelengths are generated using stellar pulsation models for chemical…
We present results from a comparative study of light curves of Cepheid and RR Lyrae stars in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds with their theoretical models generated from the stellar pulsation codes. Fourier decomposition method is used…
The determination of pulsation velocities from observed spectra of Cepheids is needed for the Baade-Wesselink calibration of these primary distance markers. The applicability of the Fourier-disentangling technique for the determination of…
We present a technique for decomposing Cepheid light curves into their fundamental constituent parts; that is, their radius and temperature variations. We demonstrate that any given pair of optical luminosity and color curves can be used to…
We have generated accurate V and I template light curves using a combination of Fourier decomposition and principal component analysis for a large sample of Cepheid light curves. Unlike previous studies, we include short period Cepheids and…
We present a light curve analysis of fundamental-mode Galactic and Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Cepheids based on the Fourier decomposition technique. We have compiled light curve data for Galactic and LMC Cepheids in optical ({\it VI}),…
Fourier decomposition is a well established technique used in stellar pulsation. However the quality of reconstructed light curves using this method is reduced when the observed data have uneven phase coverage. We use simulated annealing…
Gravitational microlensing within the Galaxy offers the prospect of probing the details of distant stellar sources, as well as revealing the distribution of compact (and potentially non-luminous) masses along the line-of-sight. Recently, it…
Effects of rotational mode coupling on photometric parameters of stellar oscillations are studied. At moderate rotation rates, a strong coupling between modes of spherical harmonic degree, $\ell$, differing by 2 and of the same azimuthal…
The shape of the radial velocity and light curves of 24 long-period (30 < P < 134 days) Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds shows a progression with the period. The sequences of the radial velocity and light curves are based only on a small…
The power of asteroseismology relies on the ability to infer the stellar structure from the unambiguous frequency identification of the corresponding pulsation mode. Hence, the use of a Fourier transform is in the basis of asteroseismic…
Discoveries of RR Lyrae and Cepheid variable stars with multiple modes of pulsation have increased tremendously in recent years. The Fourier spectra of these stars can be quite complicated due to the large number of combination frequencies…
We compute the phase lags between the radial velocity curves and the light curves $\Delta \Phi_1= \phi^{V_r}_1 - \phi^{mag}_1$ for classical Cepheid model sequences both in the linear and the nonlinear regimes. The nonlinear phase lags…
We examine the role of opacities in stellar pulsation with reference to Cepheids and RR Lyraes, and examine the effect of augmented opacities on the theoretical pulsation light curves in key temperature ranges. The temperature ranges are…
We present results from a detailed analysis of theoretical and observed light curves of classical Cepheid variables in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds. Theoretical light curves of Cepheid variables are based on non-linear convective…
The Fourier decomposition was applied to the light curves of the short period variable stars discovered by the OGLE team in Omega Cen. The phi_21 parameters are confined in a narrow strip for periods between 0.042 d and 0.07 d. Toward…
Additional pulsation modes have been discovered in many Cepheids, RR Lyrae, and other variable stars. Fourier transforms are used to find, fit and subtract the main pulsation period and its harmonics to reveal additional modes. Commonly,…
When a microlensing light curve is contaminated by blended light from unresolved stars near the line of sight to the lensed star, the light curve shape and corresponding parameterization for the event will differ from the values expected…
Current and future imaging surveys will measure cosmic shear with a statistical precision that demands a deeper understanding of potential systematic biases in galaxy shape measurements than has been achieved to date. We investigate the…
