I am a student under supervision of Dr. Jesper Storm, working on calibration of Leavitt Law by determining correct reddening and distances of Galactic Cepheids using BVIJHK photometry data. To calibrate the Leavitt Law, I have improvised the algorithm developed by Dr. Barry Madore (2017) which utilizes the wesenheit based Leavitt Law.
Leavitt Law is a primary distance indicator and considered as one of the fundamental tool for determining extra-galactic distances.
