Classical Cepheid variables

Apparent magnitude

Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star or other astronomical object.

Astronomy & Astrophysics

Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A) is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering theoretical, observational, and instrumental astronomy and astrophysics.

See V Centauri and Astronomy & Astrophysics

Centaurus

Centaurus is a bright constellation in the southern sky.

See V Centauri and Centaurus

Cepheid variable

A Cepheid variable is a type of variable star that pulsates radially, varying in both diameter and temperature.

See V Centauri and Cepheid variable

Classical Cepheid variable

Classical Cepheids are a type of Cepheid variable star. V Centauri and Classical Cepheid variable are Classical Cepheid variables.

See V Centauri and Classical Cepheid variable

Epoch (astronomy)

In astronomy, an epoch or reference epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity.

See V Centauri and Epoch (astronomy)

HD 125288

HD 125288 is a single star in the southern constellation of Centaurus. V Centauri and HD 125288 are bright Star Catalogue objects, Centaurus, Henry Draper Catalogue objects and Hipparcos objects.

See V Centauri and HD 125288

Hipparcos

Hipparcos was a scientific satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA), launched in 1989 and operated until 1993.

See V Centauri and Hipparcos

In astronomy, a light curve is a graph of the light intensity of a celestial object or region as a function of time, typically with the magnitude of light received on the y-axis and with time on the x-axis.

See V Centauri and Light curve

Star

A star is a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity.

See V Centauri and Star

Stellar parallax

Stellar parallax is the apparent shift of position (parallax) of any nearby star (or other object) against the background of distant stars.

See V Centauri and Stellar parallax

Variable star

A variable star is a star whose brightness as seen from Earth (its apparent magnitude) changes with time.

See V Centauri and Variable star
