Notes.

(a)

For the PL relations in the Wesenheit index “@LMC” means the stars in the LMC plus the stars in the SMC placed at the distance of the LMC by a shift of 0.432 mag.

(b)

The reduced χ2 is based on an assumed “error” in the Wesenheit index and bolometric magnitude of 0.03 mag.

(c)

Excluding RVTs with dust excess and for P< 50 days.

(d)

Excluding RVTs with dust excess.

(e)

The preferred solution.
