Cepheid parallaxes and the Hubble constant
Revised Hipparcos parallaxes for classical Cepheids are analysedtogether with 10 Hubble Space Telescope (HST)-based parallaxes. In areddening-free V, I relation we find that the coefficient of logP is thesame within the uncertainties in our Galaxy as in the Large MagellanicCloud (LMC), contrary to some previous suggestions. Cepheids in theinner region of NGC4258 with near solar metallicities confirm thisresult. We obtain a zero-point for the reddening-free relation and applyit to the Cepheids in galaxies used by Sandage et al. to calibrate theabsolute magnitudes of Type Ia supernova (SNIa) and to derive the Hubbleconstant. We revise their result for H0 from 62 to 70 +/-5kms-1Mpc-1. The Freedman et al. value is revisedfrom 72 to 76 +/- 8kms-1Mpc-1. These results areinsensitive to Cepheid metallicity corrections. The Cepheids in theinner region of NGC4258 yield a modulus of 29.22 +/- 0.03 (int.)compared with a maser-based modulus of 29.29 +/- 0.15. Distance modulifor the LMC, uncorrected for any metallicity effects, are 18.52 +/- 0.03from a reddening-free relation in V, I; 18.47 +/- 0.03 from aperiod-luminosity relation at K; 18.45 +/- 0.04 from aperiod-luminosity-colour relation in J, K. Adopting a metallicitycorrection in V, I from Macri et al. leads to a true LMC modulus of18.39 +/- 0.05.

Photometry of Type II Cepheids. II. The Short-Period Stars
We present 668 new photometric observations for 24 Cepheids with periodsless than 3 days. Most of the stars are probable type II Cepheids, butwe have included some type I Cepheids for comparison. A discussion ofthe Fourier parameters of the light curves leads to the conclusion thatthey can be used to distinguish among the several types of light curvesfound among the type II stars but are of limited usefulness fordistinguishing between type I and type II Cepheids. The pulsationalstability is investigated by searching for long-term changes in thelight-curve shapes, period changes, and light-curve scatter. In terms ofthese parameters, the pulsation is more stable than those that werefound for the long-period stars, but for each there are several starsthat show unusually large effects. However, there does not seem to beany obvious difference in light-curve stability of type II Cepheidscompared with type I Cepheids.

The Galactic abundance gradient from Cepheids. V. Transition zone between 10 and 11 kpc
This paper reports on the spectroscopic investigation of 12 Cepheidswhich are situated in the crucial region of galactocentric distancesfrom 9 kpc to 12 kpc, where according to our previous results(Andrievsky et al. \cite{andret02c}; Luck et al. \cite{lucket03}) theradial metallicity distribution experiences an obvious change. Inparticular, the wriggle in the iron abundance distribution is found tofall approximately at galactocentric distances 10-11 kpc (assuminggalactocentric distance of the Sun RG, ȯ = 7.9 kpc).Within the transition zone from 10 to 11 kpc the relative-to-solar ironabundance decreases approximately to -0.2 dex. The new sample of stars,analyzed in present paper, gives results supporting the previousconclusion about the multimodal character of the metallicitydistribution in galactic disc. Using a quite simple consideration ofgalactic chemical evolution we show that the observed distribution canbe explained in the framework of a model which includes the spiral arms.In particular, the wriggle feature associated with RG ≈ 11kpc can be interpreted as a change of metallicity level in the vicinityof the galactic corotation resonance.Based on spectra collected at the 3.6-m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope.Table A1 (Appendix) is only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/413/159

The Spectra of Type II Cepheids. I. The Hα Line in Short-Period Stars
We present 88 Hα profiles for 24 pulsating variable stars withperiods between 1 and 3 days in order to explore the behavior of thisline in type II as compared with classical Cepheids. Surprisingly, largevelocity differences were found between Hα and the metal lines insome type II Cepheids. Strong emission was observed in three stars, VZAql, NW Lyr, and V439 Oph, while line filling by incipient emission ispresent in seven others. All of the stars with emission and most withincipient emission belong to Diethelm's AHB2 class, and the emission isassociated with the secondary bump on the rising branch of the lightcurve. Two stars, BF Ser and MQ Aql, show doubling of the core nearmaximum light, and asymmetry of the line is noted in some spectra.Based in part on observations obtained with the Apache Point Observatory3.5 m telescope, which is owned and operated by the AstrophysicalResearch Consortium.

Stars with the Largest Hipparcos Photometric Amplitudes
A list of the 2027 stars that have the largest photometric amplitudes inHipparcos Photometry shows that most variable stars are all Miras. Thepercentage of variable types change as a function of amplitude. Thiscompilation should also be of value to photometrists looking forrelatively unstudied, but large amplitude stars.

Galactic Cepheids. Catalogue of light-curve parameters and distances
We report a new version of the catalogue of distances and light-curveparameters for Galactic classical Cepheids. The catalogue listsamplitudes, magnitudes at maximum light, and intensity means for 455stars in BVRI filters of the Johnson system and (RI)_C filters of theCron-Cousins system. The distances are based on our new multicolour setof PL relations and on our Cepheid-based solution for interstellarextinction law parameters and are referred to an LMC distance modulus of18.25. The catalogue is only available in electronic form at the CDS viaanonymous ftp (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html

Direct calibration of the Cepheid period-luminosity relation
After the first release of Hipparcos data, Feast & Catchpole gave anew value for the zero-point of the visual Cepheid period-luminosityrelation, based on trigonometric parallaxes. Because of the largeuncertainties on these parallaxes, the way in which individualmeasurements are weighted is of crucial importance. We thereforeconclude that the choice of the best weighting system can be aided by aMonte Carlo simulation. On the basis of such a simulation, it is shownthat (i) a cut-off in π or in σ_ππ introduces a strongbias; (ii) the zero-point is more stable when only the brightestCepheids are used; and (iii) the Feast & Catchpole weighting givesthe best zero-point and the lowest dispersion. After correction, theadopted visual period-luminosity relation is=-2.77logP-1.44+/-0.05. Moreover, we extend this study to thephotometric I band (Cousins) and obtain=-3.05logP-1.81+/-0.09.

I- and JHK-band photometry of classical Cepheids in the HIPPARCOS catalog
By correlating the \cite[Fernie et al. (1995)]{F95} electronic databaseon Cepheids with the ``resolved variable catalog'' of the hipparcosmission and the simbad catalog one finds that there are 280 Cepheids inthe hipparcos catalog. By removing W Vir stars (Type ii Cepheids),double-mode Cepheids, Cepheids with an unreliable solution in thehipparcos catalog, and stars without photometry, it turns out that thereare 248 classical Cepheids left, of which 32 are classified asfirst-overtone pulsators. For these stars the literature was searchedfor I-band and near-infrared data. Intensity-mean I-band photometry onthe Cousins system is derived for 189 stars, and intensity-mean JHK dataon the Carter system is presented for 69 stars.

A photometric and spectroscopic study of the brightest northern Cepheids - II. Fundamental physical parameters
We present a new Cepheid reddening and effective temperature scale basedon the uvby photometry published in the first paper of this series.Using all available information about the companion stars in Cepheidswith bright blue secondaries, we remove their light from the observedlight and colour curves. The resulting corrections are as large as0.05-0.15 mag in several cases for different colour indices. A newphotometric approach based on the (b -y) versus (B-V) two-colour diagramis tested with three other previous calibrations taken from theliterature. Two uvby relations in earlier studies turn out to be themost reliable and consistent, and so they are used in deriving colourexcesses. We determine systematically higher reddenings for Cepheidswith a significant secondary light correction. The dereddened Stromgrencolours are calibrated in terms of T_eff and logg using the most recentsynthetic colour grids. Our temperature scale is very close to that ofKraft, which is supported by other recent temperature determinationsusing the infrared flux method or Geneva photometry. The photometricgravities fit some of the earlier theoretical and observational (mainlyspectroscopic) results very well.

The effect of artificial viscosity on a hydrodynamic model of Cepheids
The effect of artificial viscosity on a hydrodynamic simulation ofstellar radial pulsation is examined for the purpose of studying thedependence of the modal coupling on the sharpness of the shock front.The model used in our study is a 2.5-d first-overtone pulsator in theCepheid instability strip. By increasing the parameters in the vonNeumann-Richtmyer formula of artificial viscosity, we obtained a lowgrowth rate together with a small pulsation amplitude. The time scalerelated to pulsation mode-switching is also increased.

The shape and scale of Galactic rotation from Cepheid kinematics
A catalog of Cepheid variables is used to probe the kinematics of theGalactic disk. Radial velocities are measured for eight distant Cepheidstoward l = 300 deg; these new Cepheids provide a particularly goodconstraint on the distance to the Galactic center, R0. We model the diskwith both an axisymmetric rotation curve and one with a weak ellipticalcomponent, and find evidence for an ellipticity of 0.043 +/- 0.016 nearthe sun. Using these models, we derive R0 = 7.66 +/- 0.32 kpc andv(circ) = 237 +/- 12 km/s. The distance to the Galactic center agreeswell with recent determinations from the distribution of RR Lyraevariables and disfavors most models with large ellipticities at thesolar orbit.

Radii and Distances of Cepheids. I. Method and Measurement Errors
We develop a formulation of the Baade-Wesselink method which uses theFourier coefficients of the observables. We derive an explicit, analyticexpression to determine the mean radius from each Fourier order. Thesimplicity of this method allows us to derive the uncertainty in themean radius due to measurement errors. Using simulations and a recentdata set we demonstrate that the precision of the radius measurementwith optical magnitudes is in most cases limited by the accuracy of themeasurement of the phase difference between the light and the colorindex curve. In this case it is advantageous to determine the inverseradius, because it has normal errors.

Fundamental parameters of Cepheids. IV. Radii and luminosities.
A temperature scale for Cepheids is presented, based on Genevaphotometry. It uses new atmosphere models computed at various values ofmicroturbulent velocity. The scale so-obtained is compared to other onesand the importance of microturbulence effects is shown. This calibrationis applied to 20 Cepheids for which the variation of microturbulence isknown. The detailed variations of temperature and gravity are derived.The behavior of the photometric gravity is in very good agreement withthe effective gravity (sum of GM/R^2^ and of the derivative of theradial velocity). Thus static atmosphere models can be used to describethe temperature and gravity variations in Cepheids under the followingconditions: i) the microturbulence has to be taken into account, ii) theeffective gravity must be considered instead of the static gravity, iii)in some cases, a small phase interval around minimum radius does notgive reliable results. The temperature and bolometric corrections arethen used to derive radii and distances via the Baade-Wesselinktechnique. The resulting Period-Radius and Period-Luminosity relationsare discussed. Our results compare very well with similar analysis basedon infra-red (JHK) photometry.

Cepheid radii and the CORS method revisited.
We have refined the CORS method, introduced in 1980 for the computationof the cepheid radii, in order to extend its applicability to recent andextensive sets of observations. The refinement is based on thecomputation, from observational data only, of one of the terms of thesolving equation, previously based only on precise calibrations ofphotometric colors. A limited number of assumptions, generally acceptedin the literature, is used. New radii are computed for about 70cepheids, and the resulting P-R relation is discussed.

Colour excesses of F-G supergiants and Cepheids from Geneva photometry.
A reddening scale for F-G supergiants and Cepheids is presented.Supergiants with low reddenings or in clusters form the basis of thecalibration. In this sense, it is entirely empirical. The data have beenobtained in the Geneva photometric system. Comparisons with otherreddening scales show no disagreement. The only problem is with Fernie'sscale for Cepheids (1990), where a systematic trend exists. Its originis not clear. It is suggested to extend the number of supergiants withindependently obtained colour excesses in order to test the existence ofa possible luminosity dependence of the calibration. A period-colourrelation for Cepheids is deduced, on the basis of the present reddeningcorrections. It gives strong support for V473 Lyr being a secondovertone pulsator.

Fundamental parameters of Cepheids. III. Turbulence variations.
Observations of the line broadening during the cycle of pulsation areanalysed for 41 Cepheids. The main components of this line broadeningare the stellar atmospheric turbulence and the velocity fields due topulsation and to axial rotation. The variation of the broadening due topulsation is calculated for each star by using the observed radialvelocity curve. The residual broadening at maximum radius allows to showthat the value of the equatorial rotational velocity is smaller than ~10km/s for the large majority of classical Cepheids. It will be shown thatturbulence is the major effect that can explain the variation of thelines widths during the cycle of pulsation. We show that the behavioursof classical and s-Cepheids are different with respect to turbulence anda new method is proposed to separate these classes. This leads to thediscovery of a few new s-Cepheids. The second overtone Cepheid V473 Lyrdoes not follow the sequence of s-Cepheids, that are highly suspected tobe overtone pulsators. It is also shown that the turbulence is in phasewith the acceleration and, particularly, that the maximum turbulence isattained near minimum radius, where the acceleration is also at itsmaximum.

Fundamental parameters of Cepheids. II. Radial velocity data.
Radial velocity data for 40 Cepheid stars obtained with the CORAVELspectrometer are presented. They represent 1203 individual observations.The mean number of measurements per star is 41, ranging from 10 to 133.For each star, a Fourier analysis has been made and we searched theperiod that gave the best fit for the velocity curve. When the datacovered a sufficiently long time interval, it has been looked for periodchanges or phase jumps. The results have been compared to those found inthe literature; the choice of the best periods is discussed, taking intoconsideration the uncertainty on the period, the smoothness of the fitand several other parameters. New orbital elements, based on CORAVELmeasurements only, are given for DL Cas and W Sgr.

Fundamental parameters of Cepheids. I. Photometric data in the Geneva system.
Photometric data in the Geneva system for 26 Cepheid stars are given,representing 869 individual measurements. After a short explanation onthe analysis, the choice of the period and the quality of the fit of thelight curve are discussed. The data and the fitted light- and colourcurves are given, as well as the Fourier coefficients of the best fitfor each star.

New radial velocities for classical cepheids. Local galactic rotation revisited
New centre-of-mass radial velocities are calculated for 107 classicalcepheids from CORAVEL observations. We generally determine thesevelocities from four to six measurements carefully spaced in phase, byfitting a "typical" radial velocity curve or the mirror image of thelight curve. A decomposition in Fourier series is used for stars withmore than 10 measurements. Distances are then computed through aperiod-luminosity-colour relation for 278 classical cepheids with knownradial velocity, and an axisymmetric galactic rotation model is appliedto the sample, using a generalised non-linear least square method withuncertainties on both the velocities and the distances. The bestresults, with a rotation curve modelled as a third order polynomial,are: Rsun_=8.09 +/-0.30 kpc, A=15.92 +/-0.34 km/s/kpc, 2ARsun_=257 +/-7 km/s, A2=d^2theta(R)/d R^2^=-3.38+/-0.38 km/s/kpc^2^, A3=d^3theta(R)/d R^3^=1.99 +/-0.62km/s/kpc^3^, u_0_=9.32 +/-0.80 km/s, v_0_=11.18 +/-0.65 km/s. The effectof modifying the distance scale of cepheids, the absorption coefficientor the fitting procedure algorithm are examined. It appears that theproduct 2 A Rsun_ is very robust towards these changes. Theextended sample of classical cepheids with known radial velocitypresented in this paper seems to imply a higher value for A thananterior studies. The radial velocity residuals show a systematic k-termof about 2 km/s. New evidence from cluster cepheids excludes anintrinsic cause for this shift, and a dynamical cause is proposed from acomparison with a N-body simulation of the Galaxy. The simulation showsthat a systematic bias of this magnitude is typical. The structure ofthe local residual velocity field is examined in some detail.

Physical parameters of pulsating variables with periods between one and three days. II - Fundamental parameters
On the basis of the Walraven VBLUW photometry data reported by Diethelm(1986) on 57 pulsating variables with periods between one and threedays, primary parameters (metallicity, log g, Teff, and the amount ofreddening) were deduced for 11 of these stars, using a semiempiricalapproach based on model atmosphere calculations. Results indicate thatboth the C-delta and the SA-class of the pulsating variables are youngstars of the disc-population pulsating either in the fundamental(C-delta) or in the first overtone mode (SA). The AHB1 stars, whichshowed a marked deficiency in metal abundance, are members of the halopopulaton. The stars of the AHB2 and AHB3 groups, which show anintermediate metallicity, must be considered as members of anintermediate stellar population.

Photometry of variable stars with periods near 1 day
Accurate well-sampled light curves for seven short-period type-IICepheid candidates are presented. It is demonstrated that CM UMa has aperiod of 0.589 and is an RRab star. The results show that CE Her and XXVir are both type I Cepheids with excess scatter and rapid variationsduring declining light. BB Gem is found to be the shortest-periodfundamental pulsator of the known Galactic classical Cepheids.

A catalogue of field Type II Cepheids
A catalogue of field Type II Cepheids is presented. The primary listconsists of 152 Cepheids sufficiently far from the galactic plane to bevery probably Type II stars. A second list contains 56 additional starsthat are likely, but less certain, Type II Cepheids, including bothstars estimated to be at large distances from the galactic plane butwith uncertain distances and stars close to the galactic plane believedto be Type II for independent reasons.

Period changes of Cepheid variables. I - Secular period changes
Secular period changes of one hundred northern Cepheids are investigatedwith the help of O-C diagrams. With the classical Cepheids the rate ofobserved period changes is in good agreement with that determined fromstellar evolution theory. The period noise cannot mask the evolutionaryperiod changes especially in longer period Cepheids for which theoccurrence of parabolic O-C graphs is unusually frequent.

A photometric classification of pulsating variables with periods between one and three days
Available photometric (2000 UBV measurements) data were employed toestablish standard classifications of Cepheid variables. The datacovered pulsating variables in the Galaxy with periods between 1-3 days.The V lightcurves revealed that the 28 variables in the surveys could beclassified into four groups. The RR Lyrae stars have a smooth Vlightcurve, a short rise time, and a large amplitude in B(AB). The WVirginis stars exhibit a pronounced brightness hump on the ascendingbranch 0.2 h before brightness maximum, while BL Herculis stars have ahump on the descending branch, with rise times decreasing withincreasing periods. Finally, classical Cepheids have a smooth variationwith a gradual rise to maximum. All lie within 3 deg of the galacticequator. The UBV measurements are concluded to be suitable for a coarseseparation of populations of stars.

A search for northern hemisphere double mode cepheids. II - New UBV cepheid photometry
Approximately 500 UBV observations of 32 short period cepheids have beenmade. The observations reported complete photoelectric light curves forall known cepheids north of -25 deg declination, brighter than B = 12.5mag at minimum, and with periods shorter than 5 day. These observationswere made with respect to standardized comparison stars and have amedian of about 15 observations per variable. Newly derived periods forsome of the variables were found using an autocorrelation program. Alist of the observations is presented, along with light curves andfinding charts for some of the lesser known cepheids.

Photoelectric UBV Photometry of Northern Cepheids I
New UBV photoelectric observational data on 38 northern cepheids withperiods of less than 5 days are presented. The period changes of theobserved cepheids are investigated. Four variables (SU Cyg, DT Cyg, V532Cyg, SZ Tau) show a period jump and a subsequent 'rejump' to the earliervalue of the period, which results in the overall constancy of theperiod. DT Cyg pulsates with the same period for at least the fourthtime which is in keeping with the recent hypothesis on the evolution ofcepheids along the lines of constant period in the HRD. AU peg, aPopulation II variable, shows extremely strong period changes. In threecases, secular light curve variation was discovered. The amplitude ofthe light variation as AS Per is decreasing; the other type of lightcurve variation is the variation in the steepness of the rising branch(SU Cyg, FF Aql). The effect of the orbital motion on the O-C diagram isalso investigated for FF Aql. Finally, the instability of the period fordifferent types of cepheids is discussed.
