A sufficient accuracy is required both for a precise determination of the cosmological parameters and also in order to achieve a better understanding of physical processes in extragalactic systems. The "standard candles", used to set up the extragalactic distance scale, reviewed in this book include cepheid variables, RR Lyrae variables, novae, Type Ia and Type II supernovae as well as globular clusters and planetary nebulae. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v635 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aGravitation 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 676 $a523.1/12 702 $aAlloin$b Danielle$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGieren$b Wolfgang$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466791403316 996 $aStellar candles for the extragalactic distance scale$9474489 997 $aUNISA
