Determination of the LMC distance modulus from the Classical Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation

Xavier Luri, J. Torra, F. Figueras +3

The distance modulus of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the first step on the determination of the cosmic distance scale. In this paper it is obtained from a new calibration of…
