Photographic photometry of Magellanic Cloud cepheids

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Photographic (B,V) light curves of 213 LMC and 180 SMC cepheids (and W Virginis stars) have been obtained and the relevant light-curve parameters derived. Comparison of this work with stars in common with photoelectric data indicate that the <V> and (<B> - <V>) magnitudes differ from their photoelectric counterparts by ±0ᵐ.09 and ±0ᵐ.12 respectively for the fainter cepheids (log P <0.8) and by ±0ᵐ.06 and ±0ᵐ.07 respectively for the brighter cepheids (log P >0.8).
