The irregular dwarf galaxy IC 1613 is a member of the
Local Group of Galaxies. It can be found inside the constellation Cetus
in a distance of 2.4 million light-years. IC 1613 has played an
important role in the calibration of the period luminosity relation
of Cepheids for estimating distances, because an unusually low
abundance of interstellar dust both within IC 1613 and along
the line of sight enables especially accurate distance estimates.
