We present the first mid-infrared Period-Luminosity (PL) relations for Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Cepheids. Single-epoch observations of 70 Cepheids were extracted from Spitzer IRAC observations at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0 microns,…
The Cepheid period-luminosity (P-L) relation is regarded as a linear relation (in log[P]) for a wide period range from ~2 to ~100 days. However, several recent controversial works have suggested that the P-L relation derived from the Large…

(abridged) Recent studies, using OGLE data for LMC Cepheids in the optical, strongly suggest that the period-luminosity (PL) relation for the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Cepheids shows a break or non-linearity at a period of 10 days. In…
