Scientific paper

A method of constructing a period-luminosity (PL) relation is examined in order to determine an optimized procedure. A necessity is noted for making the PL relation cluster moduli independent. A period-radius (PR) relation defined by Ivanov (1981) is used, together with a defined brightness coefficient for the star, to obtain a new value for the absolute magnitude of individual stars. A color-spectrum relation is assumed in order to derive a period-color relation, which in turn serves for deducing a PL relation. The new PL relation is applied to the M31 Cepheids, the LMC, and the SMC. The slope of the PL relation is found to be different for the s-Cepheids, compared with the other Cepheids.
