Abstract
AbstractNonlinear convective pulsation models representative of SMC Cepheids pulsating in the second overtone mode are presented. Model predictions are compared with observations and implications are derived for second overtone selection criteria. The role of overtone Cepheids as distance indicators is finally investigated and the derived distance scale is at odds with the so called short distance scale.
