The Astrophysical JournalUsing an updated and significantly augmented sample of Cepheid and tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) distances to 28 nearby spiral and irregular galaxies, covering a wide range of metallicities, we have searched for evidence of a correlation of the zero-

THE PULSATION MODE AND DISTANCE OF THE CEPHEID FF AQUILAE [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2013 Publisher's version/PDFThe determination of pulsation mode and distance for field Cepheids is a complicated problem best resolved by a luminosity estimate.

The Cepheid Distance to the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4151 [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 We derive a distance of 15.8 ± 0.4 Mpc to the archetypal Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151 based on the near-infrared Cepheid period–luminosity relation and new Hubble Space Telescope multiband imaging.

A 1.3% Distance to M33 from Hubble Space Telescope Cepheid Photometry
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a low-dispersion period–luminosity relation (PL) based on 154 Cepheids in Messier 33 (M33) with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry from the PHATTER survey.

The Cepheid Distance Scale: Recent Progress in Fundamental Techniques [PDF]
, 2009 This review examines progress on the Pop I, fundamental-mode Cepheid distance scale with emphasis on recent developments in geometric and quasi-geometric techniques for Cepheid distance determination. Specifically I examine the surface brightness method,

A Geometrical 1% Distance to the Short-period Binary Cepheid V1334 Cygni
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Cepheid stars play a considerable role as extragalactic distances indicators, thanks to the simple empirical relation between their pulsation period and their luminosity. They overlap with that of secondary distance indicators, such as Type Ia supernovae,

The Astrophysical JournalBy comparing Cepheid brightnesses with geometric distance measures including Gaia EDR3 parallaxes, most recent analyses conclude metal-rich Cepheids are brighter, quantified as γ ∼ −0.2 mag dex ^−1 .

Cepheid Period‐Radius and Period‐Luminosity Relations and the Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud
Astrophysical Journal, 1998 We have used the infrared Barnes-Evans surface brightness technique to derive the radii and distances of 34 Galactic Cepheid variables. Radius and distance results obtained from both versions of the technique are in excellent agreement.

A distance to the galaxy NGC4258 from observations of Cepheid variable stars
Nature, 1999 Cepheid variable stars pulsate in a way that is correlated with their intrinsic luminosity, making them useful as 'standard candles' for determining distances to galaxies; the potential systematic uncertainties in the resulting distances have been ...
