The Astrophysical Distance Scale III: Distance to the Local Group Galaxy WLM using Multi-Wavelength Observations of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch, Cepheids, and JAGB Stars

Abigail J. Lee, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +3

The local determination of the Hubble Constant sits at a crossroad. Current estimates of the local expansion rate of the Universe differ by about 1.7-sigma, derived from the Cephei…

Constraints on the properties of warm dark matter using the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way

Oliver Newton, Matteo Leo, Marius Cautun +5

The satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) are effective probes of the underlying dark matter (DM) substructure, which is sensitive to the nature of the DM particle. In particula…
