What is the reason for the change in the brightness of the Cepheids?
| November 15, 2020 | Education
In Cepheids, luminosity changes due to the alternation of compression and expansion. As the star contracts, the size of the photosphere decreases, but the temperature increases. As a result, luminosity and brilliance increase. And when it expands, the luminosity and brilliance decrease.
