There are numerous kinds of variable stars. It is not clear to me what the basic correlation or difference is between Cepheid variables and other variables such as T Tauri and Herbig Ae/Be variables. Are Cepheids just a class of T Tauri with better known variable luminosities and pulsation periods ?
