Magellanic Cloud and Other Extragalactic Cepheids: Some Current Topics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
Table 1 lists galaxies in which Cepheids are known. The early work on the detection and period determination for these stars forms the basis of subsequent studies. These later studies include the infrared photometry of Cepheids pioneered by the Toronto group and the efforts by various workers to improve the optical photometry. An example of the importance of this latter work is the recent study of M33 by Sandage (1983) in which a revised magnitude scale leads to a distance modulus 0.67 greater than that previously adopted.
