The period-luminosity (PL) relation of Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) plays a pivotal role in extra-galactic distance measurement and the determination of the Hubble constant $(H_{0})$. In this work, we probe the geometry of…
321 Galactic fundamental-mode Cepheids with good B,V,I photometry by Berdnikov et al. 2000 and with homogenized color excesses E(B-V) based on Fernie et al. 1995 are used to determine their P-C relation in the range 0.4<log P<1.6. Distances…

A number of recent works have suggested that the period-luminosity (PL) relation for the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Cepheids exhibits a controversial nonlinear feature with a break period at 10 days. Therefore, the aim of this Research…
