A sample of 32 galaxies with accurate distance moduli from the Cepheid PL-relation (Lanoix 1999) has been used to study the dynamical behaviour of the Local (Virgo) supercluster. We used analytical Tolman-Bondi (TB) solutions for a spherically symmetric density excess embedded in the Einstein-deSitter universe (q_0=0.5). Using 12 galaxies within Theta=30 degr from the centre we found a mass estimate of 1.62M_virial for the Virgo cluster. This agrees with the finding of Teerikorpi et al. (1992} that TB-estimate may be larger than virial mass estimate from Tully & Shaya (1984). Our conclusions do not critically depend on our primary choice of the global H_0=57 km/s/Mpc established from SNe Ia (Lanoix 1999). The remaining galaxies outside Virgo region do not disagree with this value. Finally, we also found a TB-solution with the H_0 and q_0 cited yielding exactly one virial mass for the Virgo cluster.

We have extended the discussion of Paper II (Ekholm et al. 1999) to cover also the backside of the Local Supercluster (LSC) by using 96 galaxies within Theta<30 deg from the adopted centre of LSC and with distance moduli from the direct B-band Tully-
Fisher relation. In order to minimize the influence of the Malmquist bias we required log V_max>2.1 and sigma_{B_T}<0.2 mag. We found out that if R_Virgo<20 Mpc this sample fails to follow the expected dynamical pattern from the Tolman-Bondi (TB) model. When we compared our results with the Virgo core galaxies given by Federspiel et al. (1998) we were able to constrain the distance to Virgo: R_Virgo=20-24 Mpc. When analyzing the TB-behaviour of the sample as seen from the origin of the metric as well as that with distances from the extragalactic Cepheid PL-relation we found additional support to the estimate R_Virgo=21 Mpc given in Paper II. Using a two-component mass-model we found a Virgo mass estimate M_Virgo= (1.5-2)M_virial, where M_virial=9.375.10^14M_sun for R_Virgo=21 Mpc. This estimate agrees with the conclusion in Paper I (Teerikorpi et al. 1992). Our results indicate that the density distribution of luminous matter is shallower than that of the total gravitating matter when q_0<=0.5. The preferred exponent in the density power law, alphaapprox2.5, agrees with recent theoretical work on the universal density profile of dark matter clustering in an Einstein-deSitter universe (Tittley & Couchman 1999).
We study the mass distribution and the infall pattern of the Perseus-Pisces (PP) supercluster. First we calculate the mass of the central part of PP, a sphere with a radius of 15/h Mpc centered at (l,b)=(140.2deg ,-22.0deg), d=50/h Mpc, using the vir
ial and other estimators. We get M_{PP} = 4 -- 7 /h 10^{15} M_{sun}, giving mass-to-light ratio 200 -- 600 h M_{sun} / L_{sun}, and overdensity delta approx 4. The radially averaged smoothed density distribution around the PP is inputted to the Tolman-Bondi (TB) equations, calculated for different cosmologies: Omega_0 = [0.1,1], Omega_{Lambda} = 1-Omega_0 or 0. As a result we get the infall velocities towards the PP center. Comparing the TB results to the peculiar velocities measured for the Kinematics of the Local Universe (KLUN) Tully-Fisher data set we get the best fit for the conditions Omega_0 = 0.2 -- 0.4 and v_{inf} < 100 km/s for the Local Group infall towards the center of PP. The applicability of the TB method in a complex environment, such as PP, is tested on an N-body simulation.
The Bondi formula for calculation of the invariant mass in the Tolman- Bondi (TB) model is interprated as a transformation rule on the set of co-moving coordinates. The general procedure by which the three arbitrary functions of the TB model are dete
rmined explicitly is presented. The properties of the TB model, produced by the transformation rule are studied. Two applications are studied: for the falling TB flat model the equation of motion of two singularities hypersurfaces are obtained; for the expanding TB flat model the dependence of size of area with friedmann-like solution on initial conditions is studied in the limit $t to +infty$.
We report results of initial work done on selected candidate Cepheids to be observed with the Kepler space telescope. Prior to the launch 40 candidates were selected from previous surveys and databases. The analysis of the first 322 days of Kepler ph
otometry, and recent ground-based follow-up multicolour photometry and spectroscopy allowed us to confirm that one of these stars, V1154 Cyg (KIC 7548061), is indeed a 4.9-d Cepheid. Using the phase lag method we show that this star pulsates in the fundamental mode. New radial velocity data are consistent with previous measurements, suggesting that a long-period binary component is unlikely. No evidence is seen in the ultra-precise, nearly uninterrupted Kepler photometry for nonradial or stochastically excited modes at the micromagnitude level. The other candidates are not Cepheids but an interesting mix of possible spotted stars, eclipsing systems and flare stars.
Recent 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 i
s 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.
