The Cepheid Luminosity Scale
Abstract
The distance moduli of galactic clusters containing classical Cepheids are being redetermined using the four-color and H(beta) photometric system. The results for four clusters are presented and it is found that the distance moduli are smaller than previous values. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.
