Data Analysis Problem
Problem 1
Photometry and radial velocity data for the Cepheid type star HV2257 are given in Table 1-3, based on observations by Gieren (MNRAS vol 265, 1993) . The pulsation period of the star is π = 39.294 days. A reference graph for the temperature β color relation and the bolometric correction tables are given in Figure 1 (Houdashelt et al., 2000) and Table 4 (http://xoomer.virgilio.it/hrtrace/Straizys.htm). Given that the solar luminosity is πΏβ¨= 3.96 Γ 1026π½ π β1 and its bolometric magnitude πβ¨πππ= 4.72. Please do
not use period-luminosity relation from the second question for this question. a. Plot the light curve based on Table 1, between phases 0.6 and 1. b. Plot the color in Table 2, between phases 0.6 and 1.
c. Plot the Radial Velocity curve from Table 3, between phases 0.6 and 1. d. Calculate the average radial velocity of the star.
e. Calculate the distance to this pulsating star using the observed data and supplementary data given in Table 4 and Figure 1. Assume that there is no extinction in this direction.

Problem 2
BVRIJHKLMN photometry of 2 stars from the constellation Cassiopeia is given in Table 5. For both stars it is believed that their light is affected by extinction by diffuse Interstellar Medium (ISM) only. Assuming that the observation is done from outside the atmosphere.

Now apply these results in order to derive a distance estimate for IC 342, a spiral galaxy in Cassiopeia obscured by Milky Way. You should assume that the properties of the ISM in IC 342 are similar to those of the ISM in our Galaxy.
