The VMC survey - XLVIII. Classical cepheids unveil the 3D geometry of the LMC

We employed the VISTA near-infrared YJKssurvey of the Magellanic System (VMC) to analyse the Y, J, and Ks light curves of δCepheid stars (DCEPs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Our sample consists of 4408 objects accounting for 97 per cent of the combined list of OGLE IV and Gaia DR2 DCEPs. We...
