The Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances to Type Ia Supernova Host Galaxies. III. NGC 4038/39 and NGC 5584

Abstract

We present the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) distances to Type Ia supernova (SNe Ia) host galaxies NGC 4038/39 and NGC 5584. Based on the deep images constructed using archival Hubble Space Telescope data, we detect red giant branch stars in each galaxy. VI photometry of the resolved stars and corresponding I-band luminosity functions show the TRGB to be at I_{TRGB} = 27.67 \pm 0.05 for NGC 4038/39 and I_{TRGB} = 27.77 \pm 0.04 for NGC 5584. From these estimates, we determine the distance modulus to NGC 4038/39 to be (m-M)_0 = 31.67 \pm 0.05 (random) \pm 0.12 (systematic) (corresponding to a linear distance of 21.58 \pm 0.50 \pm 1.19 Mpc) and the distance modulus to NGC 5584 to be (m-M)_0 = 31.76 \pm 0.04 (random) \pm 0.12 (systematic) (corresponding to a linear distance of 22.49 \pm 0.41 \pm 1.24 Mpc). We derive a mean absolute maximum magnitude of SNe Ia of M_V = -19.29 \pm 0.08 from the distance estimates of five SNe Ia (including two SNe in this study and three SNe Ia from our previous studies), and we derive a value of M_V = -19.19 \pm 0.10 using three low-reddened SNe Ia among the five SNe Ia. With these estimates, we derive a value of the Hubble constant, H_0 = 69.8 \pm 2.6 (random) \pm 3.9 (systematic) km/s/Mpc and 72.2 \pm 3.3 (random) \pm 4.0 (systematic) km/s/Mpc, respectively. The value from the five SNe is similar to those from the cosmic microwave background analysis, and not much different within errors, from those of recent Cepheid calibrations of SNe Ia. The value from the three SNe is between the values from the two methods.
