To measure the extragalactic distances and consequently infer the Hubble constant (H0), several standard candles have been tested over the past decades. In this time of Hubble tension, Type-II Cepheids (T2Cs) could provide an alternative window to establish the first rung of the distance ladder in contrast to Classical Cepheids (CCs). In this regard, T2C’s Period-Luminosity (PL) & Period-Wesenheit (PW) relations show marginal to no metallicity dependence based on the spectral windows used. Hence, they may provide independent means to compute H0 and also could be advantageous distance indicators for the systems which are deprived of CCs. However, these Population-II pulsating stars were never thoroughly tested for distance estimation. In this talk, I will therefore assert the potency of T2Cs as a new avenue for the calibration of the extragalactic distance scale as compared to CCs & Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB). To test this, we considered LMC as an anchor galaxy & M31 as a benchmark galaxy. In order to derive the robust PL/PW relations in the gri bands, we employed the bayesian probabilistic method which is more immune to outliers than the classical methods used in past literature studies. After further analysis to derive the final distances, we compared the results from T2Cs with CCs, TRGB and the CC’s precise results from HST photometry (Li & Riess 2021). On this account, we show that T2Cs can be used as accurate and precise probes of the extragalactic distance scale. Thus, they would be an excellent candidate for future JWST observations.
