Description

We analyse the theoretical light curves of Cepheid and RR Lyrae variables at optical (UBVRI) and near-infrared (JKL) wavelengths using Fourier decomposition. A large number of models have been studied appropriate for galactic and magellanic cloud Cepheids and RR Lyraes. We discuss the variation of light-curve parameters with different compositions and mass-luminosity levels as a function of period and wavelength, and compare our results with observations.
