On the Period-Luminosity-Color Relation of Classical Cepheids
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
We compare the theoretical and empirical PL relations in V and I bands for Cepheids in the LMC. We found that, within the current intrinsic dispersions, the theoretical predictions are in remarkable agreement with observational data. We also discuss the PLC relations in (V,B-V) and (V,V-I) as well as the dependence of distance determinations on uncertainties in colors, in reddening corrections and in metal content.
