Abundances in Cepheid Variables

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have completed spectroscopic studies of 23 Galactic cepheids to determine possible metallicity effects on measuring the zero point of the P-L relation.

Description

We find a spread of 0.4dex in [Fe/H], which is not the result of either observational scatter or of a metallicity gradient within the Galactic disk. We find a smaller, less significant spread of 0.2dex in [{alpha}/Fe].

Our results are robust, determined by constancy of [Fe/H] derived at differing temperatures throughout the pulsational cycle, and abundances of two dwarfs compared to U Sgr in the cluster M25. We discuss briefly the effect of metallicity on the P-L relation. We also argue that EV Sct and QZ Nor are overtone pulsators, and that the latter is not a member of the cluster NGC 6067.
