Scientific paper

One of the largest uncertainties for using the Baade-Wesselink method to
measure Cepheid distances is the value of the projection factor (p-factor).
However, p-factors measured using the IRSB technique and from hydrodynamic
models disagree. In this work, we compute spherically-symmetric static model
stellar atmospheres and predict a period p-factor relation.
