“…Unless a homogeneous and near complete sample of Cepheids are obtained as well as identification of the pulsation modes, for different galaxies of the Local group, as has been done in the LMC by the OGLE survey, no satisfactorily conclusion can be drawn. Nevertheless, it is conspicuous from these studies (e.g, Antonello et al 2002, Vilardell et al 2007, Joshi et al 2010) along with the present one that while metal poor galaxies (e.g, LMC) have peaks at smaller periods, metal rich galaxies (e.g, Milky way, M31) have peaks at longer periods and it is evident that maximum frequency in the period distribution shifted towards higher period with increase in the metallicity.…”
