The Period–Luminosity (PL) relation of Cepheid variable stars is a fundamental tool for measuring extragalactic distances and constraining the Hubble constant (H0). Achieving high precision in PL-based distances requires careful consideration of both systematic and statistical uncertainties. We review the main sources of these uncertainties in PL relations, highlighting the increasing impact of random-phase errors in single-epoch observations from limited temporal coverage, such as those obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). We discuss mitigation strategies for systematic errors, including photometric calibration offsets, metallicity effects, blending, and parallax biases, and quantify key contributors to statistical errors, such as photometric noise, intrinsic scatter, and phase-sampling limitations. Special attention is given to a recently proposed cross-filter random-phase correction method (Abdollahi et al., 2025), which recovers mean magnitudes from single-epoch data by exploiting correlations between PL residuals in different bands. This technique reduces the dispersion in the infrared PL relation by 28%, equivalent to an order-of-magnitude increase in effective temporal sampling, demonstrating an efficient path to improving Cepheid-based distance measurements and the precision of Ho.

Communications of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (ComBAO) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal, which publishes research in observational and theoretical astronomy/astrophysics and presents recent advances in these fields. It is being published by the NAS RA V. Ambartsumian Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) in English in electronic form. The journal publishes original papers, review papers, brief reports, book reviews, special communications, observational and theoretical results in various fields of astronomy and related sciences, and some editorial notes, including anniversaries and obituaries. Under the heading “Legacy”, the renewed magazine will republish some old articles of high value in English. The heading “Guest articles” will bring to the attention of readers the articles of researchers who are not employees of BAO. ComBAO was founded in 1946 and regularly published in 1946-1990. However, the publication was interrupted because of the economic situation after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991.
