A Cepheid variable is a young, luminous, pulsating star whose brightness varies with a strictly regular period, from about a day to several weeks. The Leavitt law, or period–luminosity relation, is the linear relation between the mean absolute magnitude of a Cepheid and the logarithm of its period, longer periods for brighter stars.
