Mid-infrared catalogue for LMC and SMC Cepheids

The Cepheid Leavitt Law (LL), also known as the Period-Luminosity relation, is a crucial tool for assembling the cosmic distance ladder. By combining data from the OGLE-IV catalogue with mid-infrared photometry from the Spitzer Space Telescope, we have determined the 3.6 and 4.5{mu}m LLs for the Magellanic Clouds using ~5000 fundamental-mode classical Cepheids. Mean magnitudes were determined using a Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) template fitting procedure, with template light curves constructed from a subsample of these Cepheids with fully phased, well-sampled light curves. The dependence of the Large Magellanic Cloud LL coefficients on various period cuts was tested, in addition to the linearity of the relationship. The zero-point of the LL was calibrated using the parallaxes of Milky Way Cepheids from the Hubble Space Telescope and Gaia Data Release 2. Our final calibrated relations are M_[3.6]=-3.246(+/-0.008)(log(P)-1.0)-5.784(+/-0.030) and M[4.5]_=-3.162(+/-0.008)(log(P)-1.0)-5.751(+/-0.030).
