W Virginis are different because they are Population II stars, and so have a lower mass (less than our Sun ), and lower metallicity. Their luminosity is, on average, about 1.5 Magnitudes less than classical Cepheids. The period varies between 1 and 60 days. W Virginis are also called Type II Cepheids. REFERENCES |
