Distance scale calibration based on early-type binaries

Our main goal is to establish a firm empirical calibration of the surface brightness vs. (V-K) color relation for early type stars based on high quality spectroscopic and infrared observations of early-type detached eclipsing systems in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Our calibration of this relat...
