The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. Investigating the Influence of Blending on the Cepheid Distance Scale with Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud
K. Z. Stanek, A. Udalski
We investigate the influence of blending on the Cepheid distance scale. Blending leads to systematically low distances to galaxies observed with HST, and therefore to systematicall…

UBVI Color-Magnitude Diagrams in Baade's Window: Metallicity Range, Implications for the Red Clump Method, Color ``Anomaly'' and the Distances to the Galactic Center and the Large Magellanic Cloud
K. Z. Stanek, J. Kaluzny, A. Wysocka +1
(Abridged) We analyze the UBVI color-magnitude diagrams towards the Galactic bulge in a relatively low-reddening region of Baade's Window. The dereddened red giant branch is very w…
