The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. VII. The Distance to M101 via the Optical Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method

Rachael L. Beaton, Mark Seibert, Dylan Hatt +9

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is building a direct path to the Hubble constant (H0) using Population II stars as the calibrator of the SN Ia-based distance scale. This…

The Carnegie Chicago Hubble Program VI: Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances to M66 and M96 of the Leo I Group

Taylor J. Hoyt, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +8

We determine the distances to the Type Ia Supernova host galaxies M66 (NGC 3627) and M96 (NGC 3368) of the Leo I Group using the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) method. We targe…

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. V. The Distances to NGC 1448 and NGC 1316 via the Tip of the Red Giant Branch

Dylan Hatt, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +8

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is re-calibrating the extragalactic SN Ia distance scale using exclusively Population II stars. This effort focuses on the Tip of the Red…

The Near-Infrared Tip of the Red Giant Branch. I. A Calibration in the Isolated Dwarf Galaxy IC 1613

Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman, Dylan Hatt +8

Based on observations from the \emph{FourStar} near-infrared camera on the 6.5m Baade-Magellan telescope at Las Campanas, Chile, we present calibrations of the luminosities o…

The Near-Infrared Tip of the Red Giant Branch. II. An Absolute Calibration in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Taylor J. Hoyt, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +7

We present a new empirical \(JHK\) absolute calibration of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We use published data from the extensive \emp…
