  2. Cepheid variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cepheid_variable

    Classical Cepheids (also known as Population I Cepheids, type I Cepheids, or Delta Cepheid variables) undergo pulsations with very regular periods on the order of days to months. Classical Cepheids are Population I variable stars which are 4–20 times more massive than the Sun, [ 24 ] and up to 100,000 times more luminous. [ 25 ]

  3. Classical Cepheid variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_Cepheid_variable

    Classical Cepheids are also known as Population I Cepheids, Type I Cepheids, and Delta Cepheid variables. There exists a well-defined relationship between a classical Cepheid variable's luminosity and pulsation period, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] securing Cepheids as viable standard candles for establishing the galactic and extragalactic distance scales .

  4. List of temperature sensors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_temperature_sensors

    The integrated circuit sensor may come in a variety of interfaces — analogue or digital; for digital, these could be Serial Peripheral Interface, SMBus/I 2 C or 1-Wire.. In OpenBSD, many of the I 2 C temperature sensors from the below list have been supported and are accessible through the generalised hardware sensors framework [3] since OpenBSD 3.9 (2006), [4] [5]: §6.1 which has also ...

  5. Period-luminosity relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Period-luminosity_relation

    In astronomy, a period-luminosity relation is a relationship linking the luminosity of pulsating variable stars with their pulsation period. The best-known relation is the direct proportionality law holding for Classical Cepheid variables, sometimes called the Leavitt Law.

  6. Instability strip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instability_strip

    The unqualified term instability strip usually refers to a region of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram largely occupied by several related classes of pulsating variable stars: [1] Delta Scuti variables, SX Phoenicis variables, and rapidly oscillating Ap stars (roAps) near the main sequence; RR Lyrae variables where it intersects the horizontal branch; and the Cepheid variables where it crosses ...

  7. Type II Cepheid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_II_Cepheid

    Type II Cepheids are variable stars which pulsate with periods typically between 1 and 50 days. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They are population II stars: old, typically metal-poor, low mass objects. [ 1 ]

  8. Delta Scuti variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Scuti_variable

    A Delta Scuti variable (sometimes termed dwarf cepheid when the V-band amplitude is larger than 0.3 mag.) is a subclass of young pulsating star. These variables as well as classical cepheids are important standard candles and have been used to establish the distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud , globular clusters , open clusters , and the ...

  9. Variable star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_star

    Type II Cepheids (historically termed W Virginis stars) have extremely regular light pulsations and a luminosity relation much like the δ Cephei variables, so initially they were confused with the latter category. Type II Cepheids stars belong to older Population II stars, than do the type I Cepheids.
