7. The Cepheid Distance Scale and Galactic Kinematic Parameters
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Extract
Cepheid variables have long been a primary source of knowledge of galactic distances. It is therefore important to examine critically the accuracy of the cepheid distance scale to determine whether it is adequate for present needs. Proper motions resulting from the solar motion provide a fundamental determination of the distance scale, according to the well-known formula
