We review the PLRs in the recent literature, and add a new inference from a large sample of δ Sct. We highlight the difficulty in identifying the fundamental mode and show that rotation-induced surface effects can impact the measured luminosities, explaining the broadening of the PLR. We derive a tight relation between the low- order large separation and the fundamental radial mode frequency (F0) that holds for rotating stars, thus paving the way towards mode identification. We show that the PLRs we obtain for different samples are compatible with each other and with the recent literature, and with most observed δ Sct stars when taking rotation effects into account. We also find that the highest- amplitude peak in the frequency spectrum corresponds to the fundamental modein most δ Sct, thus}, organization = {Departamento de Física Teórica y del Cosmos}, keywords = {Period-luminosity relations}, keywords = {δ Sct stars}, keywords = {Stellar pulsations}, keywords = {Stellar rotation}, keywords = {Mode identification}, title = {The PL diagram for δ Sct stars: back in business as distance estimators}, doi = {10.1017/S17439213230}, author = {García Hernández, Antonio and Pascual-Granado, Javier and Lares-Martiz, Mariel and Mirouh, Giovanni M. and Suárez, Juan Carlos and Barceló Forteza, Sebastià and Moya, Andrés}, }
