A Cepheid's rhythm may be thrown off by its metallic content.

This is the first classical Cepheid to have a dynamical mass determined from its orbit.

Madame Cepheid's choicest items are not available to anyone below commander."

"A Cepheid is a bright star that gets brighter every so often - regularly, as though it has a heartbeat.

Cepheid's GeneXpert is by far the fastest and easiest of the three, but it is also the most expensive.

A competitor, Cepheid of Sunnyvale, Calif., said it had been offering a similar product for a year and a half.

Madame Cepheid had patriotically dispatched a shipful of girls and croupiers to Starkad.

The structure of all stars, including the Sun and Cepheid variable stars, is determined by the opacity of matter in the star.

On Friday, Cepheid closed at $7.78 FOR some companies, government contracts can provide a significant source of revenue.

"You have four darling children, your wife is unreasonably monogamous, and you were playing Go at Madame Cepheid's last month."

"Madame Cepheid's Go board is twenty meters square," said Flandry, "and the pieces are live girls.

Such stellar component could likely take 42.4 years to complete its orbit around the Cepheid (semimajor axis around 10.8 Astronomical Units).

The measured distance to the Andromeda Galaxy was doubled in 1953 when it was discovered that there is another, dimmer type of Cepheid.

Merlin owns about 800,000 shares of Cepheid, a company based in Sunnyvale, Calif., that makes equipment for rapid genetic analysis of pathogens.

The first cepheid known was Delta Cephei in the constellation Cepheus, found by John Goodricke in 1784.

The closest Classical Cepheid is the North Star (Polaris), although the star exhibits many peculiarities and its distance is a topic of active debate.

Such stars, called cepheids, rhythmically change in brightness at known rates, and astronomers have long recognized a direct link between a cepheid's pulsation rate and its intrinsic brightness.

It was later found that there are two types of Cepheid variables, so Delta Cephei is now known as a type I (Classical) Cepheid.

The Cepheid's cluster membership, along with recent Hubble Space Telescope and Hipparcos parallaxes, place strong constraints on the star's distance: 363 9(σ) 26(σ) parsecs.

The following relationship between a Population I Cepheid's period and its mean absolute magnitude was established from Hubble Space Telescope trigonometric parallaxes for 10 nearby Cepheids:

From 2000 to 2008 Eurogentec intensified its services and signed agreements with several companies like Cepheid, Epoch Biosciences, Exiqon, Delphi, In Cell Art.

A Delta Scuti variable (sometimes termed dwarf cepheid) is a variable star which exhibits variations in its luminosity due to both radial and non-radial pulsations of the star's surface.

Cepheid of Sunnyvale, Calif., is working on a briefcase-size machine that could perform a genetic analysis to identify an infectious agent in 30 minutes, rather than the hours or days such a job normally takes.
