| Abstract: | HST data on Cepheid variables in one Virgo Cluster spiral galaxy is re-analyzed, taking into account flux-limited incompleteness
in the sample and calibration of the period-luminosity relation in the relevant period range. Distance to the Virgo Cluster
is estimated to be 19.6 ± 1.7 (random) ± 2.6 (systematic) Mpc. |
