Abstract (from CDS):
An application of the Mira period-luminosity relation to these stars yields a distance modulus for Fornax of 20.69±0.04 (internal), ±0.08 (total) (on a scale that puts the LMC at 18.39 mag) in good agreement with other determinations. Various estimates of the distance to Fornax are reviewed.
