A sub-percent distance scale from binaries and Cepheids (CepBin)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2016, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2021,

We propose to carry out a project which will produce a decisive step towards improving the accuracy of the Hubble constant as determined from the Cepheid-SN Ia method to 1%, by using 28 extremely rare eclipsing binary systems in the LMC which offer the potential to determine their distances to 1%. To achieve this accuracy we will reduce the main error in the binary method by interferometric angula ...

Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2018,

"Understanding the nature of the first stars is a fundamental problem in Cosmology and Galaxy Formation. Numerical simulations suggest that primordial stars were more massive that present-day stars, and so they rapidly disappeared. Heavy elements newly produced by these stars enriched the surrounding gas, out of which long-lived, low-mass stars formed. These "second-generation" stars survive until ...
