published in Proceedings IAU Symposium No. 376, pp. 128-149 (2024)
Abstract: In this invited review I discuss the calibration and applications of the period– luminosity relation of classical Cepheid and RR Lyrae stars. After a brief introduction, starting with results from Hipparcos and discussing some post Hipparcos era developments, I focus on recent results using Gaia Data Release 3 data. I present an overview of the most recent period–luminosity relations, a discussion and some new results on Cepheids in open clusters. I also discuss the effect of reddening and that the use of Wesenheit indices is actually an oversimplification to dealing with the problem of reddening.
