Abstract:
    In this paper, we recalibrate the Cepheid distance to some nearby
    galaxies observed by the HST Key Project and the Sandage-Tammann-Saha
    group. We use much of the Key Project methodology in our analysis but
    apply new techniques, based on Fourier methods to estimate the mean
    of a sparsely sampled Cepheid light curve, to published
    extra-galactic Cepheid data. We also apply different calibrating PL
    relations to estimate Cepheid distances, and investigate the
    sensitivity of the distance moduli to the adopted calibrating PL
    relation. We re-determine the OGLE LMC PL relations using a more
    conservative approach and also study the effect of using Galactic PL
    relations on the distance scale.

Description:
    We present the V and I band mean magnitudes for the extra-galactic
    Cepheids used in the paper (Table 1 in the paper). Column 1 lists out
    the names of the target galaxy and the Cepheids, column 2 lists out
    the period (in log P) as adopted from literature, column 3 and 4 are
    the derived mean V and I band magnitudes, respectively, from the
    Fourier techniques described in the paper.
