GARRETT P. SERVISS ON STARS
THAT CONSTANTLY PULSATE
FCepheids" Change Their Diameters Millions Of
Miles in Few Days; Are Huge Suns.
By GARRETT P. SERVIsS.

; ing to such an extent that their
diameters change by millions of
miles in q few days!
II this Is so, some OF these
wonderful stars may increase their
diameterg in q week or less by an
amount several times greater
than the entire diameter Of our
sun. Great changes Of tempera-
ture, Of course, accompany these
alterations Of diameter, which IN
volve rapid variations of density.
The temperature nuctuation car
ries the stars from one stellar
class into another and then back
again. Thus Delta Cephei belongs
to the class Fo when at it's maxi
mum brightness, but . few nights
later, when at its minimum. it
sinks into class G2, a much cooler
type Of star. BY the way, G. is
the class to which our sun be-
longs.
BY Shapley's theory, when a
Cepheid dilates, its surface is up
heaved radially, and so, Of course,
pushed out rapidly toward an OBJ
server on the earth, or anywhere
else in space. The dilation is
accompanied by increase of tenn
perature, and the star grows
brighter.
In the case of Delta Cephei
itself the radium (half -dianeter)
of the star is estimated at 10000
900 kilometers, or, say, $500. 900
miles, and the semi-amplitude of
the pulsation, or oscillation of
diameter, is per cent of the
radius, causing a movement
toward the observer on the earth
Of $4,000 miles in about 6415
hours, or 1880 miles per hour.
not much less than four miles per
second.
Then, after the extreme dila-
ton is reached. the star shrinks
with equal rapidity, the motion,
like that Of the dilation, being be-
trayed by the shifting of the
lines in the spectrum Of the stars
light-toward the red end when
1t is contracting and toward the
violet end when 1t il expanding.
It il an interesting fact that
the Cepheids, though found as
single, scattered stars. like Delta
Cephel, and Polaris, are very
abundant in the great globplar
star-clusters. It Is also remark.
able that in globular clusters the
Cepheids that have equal periods
Of light variations are also equal
in mean brightness. # this appar-
emit law of dependence Of absolute
luminosity upon variation periods,
holds for all Cepheids, no matter
where they are in the sky, then
they become standards for esti.
mating star distances.

The spectroscop6 showed the
existence Of alternate to and fro
motions in the Cepheids, and
such motions would occur in q
rapidly revolving binary star.
But 1t was soon noticed that the
variations Of brightness, though
keeping step with the changes Of
motion, did not occur at the right
points in the supposed revolution.
Finally, Harlow Shapley sug.
gested the remarkable theory,
which is now widely adopted as
most probably correct, that the
Cepheids are ''pulsating" stars"
alternately dilating and contract.
