Calibration of extragalactic distances on different metallicity environments

In this work the distances to NGC 247, M33, IC 1613 and NGC 55 were found using Henrietta Leavitt's Period-Luminosity Relation (PLR) in the \textit{VIJK} filters in order to see if the galaxies' metallicity affected their distance calculus. This has been a long debated topic and the result...
