The Magnetic Field

Recent progress in the theory of pulsar wind electrodynamics is reviewed, with emphasis on the following open questions, (i) Is the bipolar, jet-torus geometry imprinted by collimation or injection? (ii) what is the magnetic field geometry as a function of latitude, and is it stable? (iii) How rapidly does the postshock flow fluctuate, e.g. in the near infrared? (iv) The σ paradox: is Poynting flux converted gradually to kinetic energy flux as the wind expands, as in a linear accelerator, or is the conversion lossy, due to reconnection or parametric instabilities in a wave-like outflow?

Classical Cepheids

AbstractRecent progress on Baade–Wesselink (BW)-type techniques to determine the distances to classical Cepheids is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the near-infrared surface-brightness (IRSB) version of the BW method. Its most recent calibration is described and shown to be capable of yielding individual Cepheid distances accurate to 6%, including systematic uncertainties. Cepheid distances from the IRSB method are compared to those determined from open cluster zero-age main-sequence fitting for Cepheids located in Galactic open clusters, yielding excellent agreement between the IRSB and cluster Cepheid distance scales. Results for the Cepheid period–luminosity (PL) relation in near-infrared and optical bands based on IRSB distances and the question of the universality of the Cepheid PL relation are discussed. Results from other implementations of the BW method are compared to the IRSB distance scale and possible reasons for discrepancies are identified.
