Abstract

The Period-Luminosity (P-L) relation for the RV Tauri variables (DuPuy 1973) contradicts those of other variables in the instability strip as it predicts lower luminosity at longer pulsational periods. It is based primarily upon three globular cluster variables. DuPuy determined secular and statistical parallaxes from 23 field variables, defining a simple P-L relation with a slightly negative slope.
