Abstract
Pulsating stars can play a fundamental role as distance indicators to set the astronomical distance scale and to trace different stellar populations to infer information on the star formation history of the host galaxy. The most interesting variables are Classical Cepheids and RR Lyrae. A review of the properties of these variables and of the theoretical and observational approaches adopted in the literature are presented.
