The LBT Project V: Cosmological Implications of a New Determination of Primordial He
Tsung-Han Yeh, Keith A. Olive, Brian D. Fields +5
The primordial abundance of He plays a central role in big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The LBT Project's new measuremen…
The LBT Y Project IV: A New Value of the Primordial Helium Abundance
Erik Aver, Evan D. Skillman, Richard W. Pogge +7
We present a new determination of the primordial helium abundance based on new, high-quality Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) observations of 54 metal-poor H II regions. These regio…
The LBT Project I: An Improved Determination of the Primordial Helium Abundance -- Project Description, Sample Selection, Observations, and Methodology
Evan D. Skillman, Richard W. Pogge, Erik Aver +9
Extremely low metallicity HII regions have been observed with the goal of determining the primordial helium abundance (). , combined with standard big bang nu…
Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances to NGC 1316, NGC 1380, NGC 1404, & NGC 4457: A Pilot Study of a Parallel Distance Ladder Using Type Ia Supernovae in Early-Type Host Galaxies
Max J. B. Newman, Conor Larison, Saurabh W. Jha +10
Though type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are found in all types of galaxies, recent local Hubble constant measurements have disfavored using SNe Ia in early-type or quiescent galaxies, a…
