Description
We introduce analytic tools we are designing for the study of cepheid and other variable stars. The study and analysis will include long terms variability analysis of these variable stars, using both archival and new data, and thus have potential to not only probe the physical properties of the stars, but also their evolutionary characteristics and use as distance probes.
