The Araucaria project: the distance to the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy from infrared photometry of RR Lyrae stars.

Abstract (from CDS):

We have obtained single-phase near-infrared magnitudes in the J and K bands for a sample of 78 RR Lyrae stars in the Sculptor dSph galaxy. Applying different theoretical and empirical calibrations of the period-luminosity-metallicity relation for RR Lyrae stars in the infrared, we find consistent results and obtain a true, reddening-corrected distance modulus of 19.67±0.02 (statistical) ±0.12 (systematic) mag for Sculptor from our data. This distance value is consistent with the value of 19.68±0.08 mag which we obtain from earlier V-band data of RR Lyrae stars in Sculptor, and the V magnitude metallicity calibration of Sandage. It is also in very good agreement with the results obtained by Rizzi based on the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB, 19.64 ± 0.08 mag) and horizontal branch (HB, 19.66±0.15 mag).
