Scientific paper

The distances of HST program galaxies are revised using the PL-relations we have obtained previously along with a different method from that employed by Freedman et al. On the average, the resulting distances to these galaxies have higher internal accuracies than those obtained before by others. In addition, we have used no corrections for metallicity or for the incompleteness of the samples of classical cepheids in deriving these distances. Despite this, our distance moduli, with a dispersion of ±0m.395, agree with those of Freedman et al. This indicates that these two effects have little or even no effect for the samples of classical cepheids in the HST program galaxies.
