The ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series 2 . The Distance to Messier 100 as Determined by Cepheid Variable Stars . ... The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...

... CEPHEID VARIABLE STARS: A Cepheid variable or Cepheid is a member of a particular class of very luminous, massive variable stars with pulsation periods of 1-70 days. ... The relationship is calibrated using data collected from Cepheids whose distances are determined by other means. ... Browse through the 68 CCD fits images he sent you, using ds9 and locate the Cepheid variable. ... Image credits: ESA - "http://sci.esa.int/science-e-media/img/20/cepheid-variables.jpg" . ...
