Notes. For some studies corresponding to the first attempts (indicated by asterisks) the pulsation could not be clearly resolved angularly leading to a mean value of the angular diameter of the Cepheid. In the visible domain, the BW method was applied successfully to only one Cepheid, Car, while in the infrared, among the eleven Cepheids the pulsation could be resolved for all stars, even X Sgr, which is known to be atypical likely owing to shockwaves travelling within the atmosphere (Mathias et al. 2006).
