VizieR Online Data Catalog: Cepheids multiphotometry (Paturel+, 2002)

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). (3 data files).
