We present candidates for non-pulsating stars lying in the classical Cepheid instability strip based on OGLE photometric maps combined with Str\"omgren photometry obtained with the 4.1-m SOAR telescope, and Gaia DR2 data in four fields in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We selected 19 candidates in total. After analysis of their light curves from OGLE surveys we found that all these stars appear to be photometrically stable at the level of a few mmag. Our results show that non-pulsating stars might constitute to about 21%-30% of the whole sample of giant stars located in the classical instability strip. Furthermore, we identified potential candidates for classical Cepheids with hot companions based on their Str\"omgren colours.

    Using pulsation period instead of radius as a constraint for Cepheid evolutionary models systematically lowers the predicted radius, exposing a tension that is partially explained by a nonlinear radius increase in ful...
