Would I most likely find a cepheid variable star in the bulge or disk of a galaxy?

Sounds like a homework question, in which I found the answer very easily using google :)

Search for the most celebrated Cepheid variable, delta Cephei. It made astronomical history. You find out why.

The word “Cepheid” should be capitalized.

@Rarebear: You talkin’ ta me?

no to me!

Can be found in either. easier to spot in disk.

There are a lot of Cepheid variables in the mushy irregular galaxies, the Greater and the Lesser Magellanic Clouds ( galaxies are visible to the naked eye, but only in the S. hemisphere).
