Abstract:

By correlating the Fernie et al. (1995) electronic database on Cepheids with the "resolved variable catalog'' of the HIPPARCOS mission and the SIMBAD catalog one finds that there are 280 Cepheids in the HIPPARCOS catalog. By removing W Vir stars (Type II Cepheids), double-mode Cepheids, Cepheids with an unreliable solution in the HIPPARCOS catalog, and stars without photometry, it turns out that there are 248 classical Cepheids left, of which 32 are classified as first-overtone pulsators. For these stars the literature was searched for I-band and near-infrared data. Intensity-mean I-band photometry on the Cousins system is derived for 189 stars, and intensity-mean JHK data on the Carter system is presented for 69 stars.

Key words: Cepheids

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
