The impact of the rotation on the surface brightness of early-type stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 January 2015
Abstract
The surface brightness colors (SBC) relation is a very important tool to derive the distance of extragalactic eclipsing binaries. However, for early-type stars, this SBC relation is critically affected by the stellar environment (wind, circumstellar disk, etc...) and/or by the fast rotation. We calculated 6 models based on the code of Domiciano de Souza et al. (2012) considering different inclinations and rotational velocities. Using these results, we quantify for the first time the impact of the rotation on the SBC relation.
