| Abstract | H band observations have been obtained for nine Cepheids in the Local Group galaxy NGC 6822. The near-infrared period-luminosity relation is almost identical to those for the Magellanic Clouds and the Galaxy. Comparison with a calibration of the period-luminosity relation for these three galaxies yields a true distance modulus of within 0.11 mag of 23.47 mag, for E(B - V) = 0.36 mag. Several Cepheids in NGC 6822 seem to be affected by reddening internal to the galaxy. |
