Friend and Saviour! and thy feast
Of all services shall be
Holiest and welcomest.

As when thy richer grace I taste,
And in thy presence dwell.

Hither I come this night,
Nor to what lodging with the stars
From hence I take my flight.

With any sweet surprise,
But gain the heart by slow degrees
Until they feast the eyes;

In science:
Cepheid distances to the MC are traditionally found by comparing PL (period luminosity) or PLC (period luminosity color) relation zeropoints between the MC and our galaxy (Feast & Walker 1987, Laney & Stobie 1994).
The Distances of the Magellanic Clouds
Infrared PL relations with small scatter have been found for Mira variables in the MC (Feast et al. 1989, Groenewegen & Whitelock 1996).
The Distances of the Magellanic Clouds
The slope may be estimated in a number of ways, none of which give significantly different values (see Feast 1999 for a discussion of this point and for a more detailed discussion of many of the points mentioned in the present paper).
Local Distance Indicators
Both the proper motions (Feast & Whitelock 1997) and the radial velocities (e.g.
Local Distance Indicators
Feast 1999, van Leeuwen 2000, Robichon et al. 2000) that these problems arise though a combination of photometric errors, errors in adopted reddenings and errors in assumed metallicity, all of which can have a significant effect because of the steepness of the main sequence.
Local Distance Indicators
If we assume that the clusters and associations containing Cepheids which are listed in Table 1 of Feast (1999) are in the mean of solar metallicity, then the results given there lead to: ρ1 = −1.43 ± 0.05(internal).
Local Distance Indicators
Possible metallicity effects in deriving Cepheid distances from V , V − I data were considered in some detail in Feast (1999).
Local Distance Indicators
This is somewhat less straight forward than using the parallaxes of RR Lyraes themselves (see Feast 1999). 3.
Local Distance Indicators
There are a number of problems in doing this and a range of absolute magnitudes have been proposed (see Feast 1999 and references there).
Local Distance Indicators
Mira variables show a good infrared period-luminosity relation (Feast et al. 1989) .
Local Distance Indicators
This can be calibrated using Miras with Hipparcos parallaxes (Whitelock & Feast 2000).
Local Distance Indicators
If so, the theory of Wood (1990) indicates that the distance modulus shown is a lower limit (see the discussion in Feast & Whitelock 1999).
Local Distance Indicators
The HST Key program is based on µo (LM C ) = 18.5, but Feast (2000) estimates that this may be too low by 7%, based on Hipparcos parallaxes (after correction for metallicity effects in Cepheids).
