Catalog Service: Cepheids multiphotometry
Description
New estimates of the distances of 36 nearby galaxies are presented based on accurate distances of galactic Cepheids obtained by Gieren et al. (1998ApJ...496...17G) from the geometrical Barnes-Evans method. The concept of ``sosie'' is applied to extend the distance determination to extragalactic Cepheids without assuming the linearity of the PL relation. Doing so, the distance moduli are obtained in a straightforward way. The correction for extinction is made using two photometric bands (V and I) according to the principles introduced by Freedman & Madore (1990ApJ...365..186F).
