Abstract

Local Group galaxies, particularly the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, have historically played and continue to play a unique role in studies of the period–luminosity (PL), period–luminosity–color (PLC), and period–Wesenheit (PW) relations, not just for pulsating stars. In recent years, significant efforts have been devoted to calibrate the PL, PLC, and PW relationships at different wavelengths, including studies of the influence of metallicity and nonlinearities on the accuracy of measured distances. However, the PL diagram has many more astrophysical applications. It serves as a vital tool for classifying different types of pulsating stars and can even facilitate the discovery of new classes of variable stars. Moreover, it aids in distinguishing among various modes of pulsation, facilitates the identification of pulsating stars that are members of binary systems, and enables studies of the three-dimensional structures of neighboring galaxies. In this contribution, I present the latest results on the PL, PLC, and PW relations obeyed by various types of variable stars in Local Group galaxies – from δ Scuti stars to Mira variabless and from close binary systems to the mysterious long secondary periods exhibited by red giant and supergiant stars.
