摘要：

The distance modulus of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is derived by application of the newly calibrated maximum magnitude versus rate of decline relationship (= MMRD; Capaccioli et al.) to the whole sample of novae so far discovered in this satellite galaxy. The result, (m - M)0 = 18.70-0.25+0.20 is in close agreement with the determinations based on Cepheids. We also compare and discuss the properties of the MMRD of the Galactic, M31, and LMC nova populations.
