Description
Pulsating stars offer a window to look into key aspects of
stellar evolution and also serve as a tool (especially Cepheids) to
distance scale measurements. Their ubiquitous nature can reveal a lot
about the structure and evolution of our Galaxy and the Magellanic
Clouds. In this talk, I will discuss two important classes of pulsating
stars, Cepheids and RR Lyrae, in general, and then dive into a
photometric study of pulsations conducted on Cepheids in our galactic
disk and bulge using the OGLE-IV survey data. Also, I will discuss how stellar
evolution modeling can aid the goals of the research. In the end, I
will briefly introduce the long term goals of the doctoral study.
