THE GALACTIC CALIBRATION OF THE CEPHEID PERIOD-LUMINOSITY RELATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE UNIVERSAL DISTANCE SCALE

THE GALACTIC CALIBRATION OF THE CEPHEID PERIOD-LUMINOSITY RELATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE UNIVERSAL DISTANCE SCALE

The Galactic calibration of the period-luminosity (PL) relation for classical Cepheids is examined using trigonometric, open cluster, and pulsation parallaxes, which help establish independent versions of the relationship. The calibration is important for the continued use of classical Cepheids in c...
