Cepheids with the eyes of photometric space telescopes

Cepheids with the eyes of photometric space telescopes

Space photometric missions have been steadily accumulating observations of Cepheids in recent years, leading to a flow of new discoveries. In this short review we summarize the findings provided by the early missions such as WIRE, MOST, and CoRoT, and the recent results of the Kepler and K2 missions...
