Description
At the Cross-Roads of Astrophysics and Cosmology (IAU S376) presents the latest advances in period-luminosity relations, essential tools for measuring cosmic distances and understanding stellar evolution. This comprehensive proceedings volume brings together contributions from the 2020s symposium, showcasing how these relations continue to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
The book covers theoretical foundations, observational techniques, and practical applications across multiple wavelengths and stellar populations. Topics include Cepheid variables, RR Lyrae stars, and other distance indicators in the context of modern surveys and space telescopes. Contributors explore connections between local stellar physics and large-scale cosmological measurements, bridging astrophysics and cosmology.
Edited by Richard de Grijs, Patricia A. Whitelock, and Márcio Catelan, this volume serves as an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, and astronomers working on cosmic distance scales, stellar pulsation physics, and precision cosmology in the contemporary era.
