question 47

Essay

With the Hubble Space Telescope, you discover a Cepheid variable star in a nearby galaxy that has a period of 30 days. If nearby Cepheids follow a period-luminosity relationship that says the luminosity of the star is L =335 L _$\odot$ * (P/1 day), then what is this Cepheid's luminosity and absolute magnitude? Recall that the Sun's absolute magnitude is M = 5. If the apparent magnitude of the Cepheid is 25, what is this galaxy's distance in Mpc?
