SPHERE/ZIMPOL observations of 47 Cepheids detect companions in 17% of the sample, confirm known ones, reveal new wide components in three stars, and set 5-sigma contrast limits that exclude main-sequence companions more massive than late-K dwarfs beyond 0.5 arcsec for a subset.

High-contrast imaging of Galactic Cepheids with VLT/SPHERE
SPHERE/ZIMPOL observations of 47 Cepheids detect companions in 17% of the sample, confirm known ones, reveal new wide components in three stars, and set 5-sigma contrast limits that exclude main-sequence companions more massive than late-K dwarfs beyond 0.5 arcsec for a subset.
