Abstract

It is beneficial to calibrate the period-Wesenheit-metallicity relation (PWZR) of Delta Cephei stars (DCEPs), i.e., classical Cepheids, using accurate parallaxes of associated open clusters (OCs) from Gaia data release 3 (DR3). To this aim, we obtain a total of 43 OC-DCEPs (including 33 fundamental mode, 9 first overtone mode, and 1 multimode DCEPs) and calibrate the PWZR as WG=(-3.356 +/- 0.033)(logP-1)+(-5.947 +/- 0.025) + (-0.285 +/- 0.064)[Fe/H]. The concurrently obtained residual parallax offset in OCs, zp = -4 +/- 5 mu as, demonstrates the adequacy of the parallax corrections within the magnitude range of OC member stars. By comparing the field DCEPs' DR3 parallaxes with their photometric parallaxes derived by our PWZR, we estimated the residual parallax offset in field DCEPs as zp = -15 +/- 3 mu as. Using our PWZR, we estimate the distance modulus of the Large Magellanic Cloud to be 18.482 +/- 0.040 mag, which aligns well with the most accurate published value obtained through geometric methods.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
