A δ Scuti Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud

A δ Scuti Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud

We present results from a well-studied δ Scuti star discovered in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The absolute magnitude of the variable was determined from the period-luminosity (P-L) relation for Galactic δ Scuti stars and from theoretical modeling of the observed B,V,I light curves with nonlinear pulsation models. The two …
