| Abstract: |
Baade-Wesselink radii derived using VJHK photometry are used to test the metallicity dependence of the Cepheid P-L relation using three collections of metallicity estimates from the literature. The hypothesis that Cepheids at the LMC metallicity ([Fe/H]~ -0.2) could be several tenths of a magnitude fainter than at solar metallicity is not supported by the evidence. |
