The Araucaria Project: The Distance to the Local Group Galaxy WLM from Near-Infrared Photometry of Cepheid Variables

We have obtained deep images in the near-infrared J and K filters for several fields in the Local Group galaxy WLM. We report intensity mean magnitudes for 31 Cepheids located in these fields, which we previously discovered in a wide-field optical imaging survey of WLM. The data define tight period-...
