Amplitude Modulation of Cepheid Radial Velocity Curves as a Systematic Source of Uncertainty for Baade-Wesselink Distances

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

I report on the recent discovery of modulation in the radial velocity curves in four classical Cepheids. This discovery may enable significant improvements in the accuracy of Baade-Wesselink distances by revealing a not previously considered systematic source of uncertainty.
