Correcting the PL Relation
1999
Metal-poor Cepheids do not appear to have smaller radii or cooler temperatures than more metal-rich Cepheids. A correction to the LMC modulus of 0.4 mag, due to metal-poor Cepheids being fainter for their periods, is inconsistent with the data at the 6σ level or greater.
