Abstract:
The distance to NGC 3319 has been determined from Cepheid variable
stars as part of the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the
Extragalactic Distance Scale. Thirteen and four epochs of
observations, using filters F555W (V) and F814W (I), respectively,
were made with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. Thirty-three Cepheid
variables between periods of 8 and 47 days were discovered. Adopting a
Large Magellanic Cloud distance modulus of 18.50±0.10 mag and
extinction of E(V-I)=0.13 mag, a true reddening-corrected distance
modulus (based on an analysis employing the ALLFRAME software package)
of 30.78 ±0.14 (random) ±0.10 (systematic) mag and the
extinction of E(V-I)=0.06 mag were determined for NGC 3319. This
galaxy is the last galaxy observed for the HST Ho Key Project.
