Allan Sandage and the Distance Scale

G. A. Tammann, B. Reindl

Allan Sandage returned to the distance scale and the calibration of the Hubble constant again and again during his active life, experimenting with different distance indicators. In…

Allan Sandage and the Cosmic Expansion

G. A. Tammann, B. Reindl

This is an account of Allan Sandage's work on (1) The character of the expansion field. For many years he has been the strongest defender of an expanding Universe. He later explain…

The supernova Ia 2011fe in M101, its tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB) distance, and the value of H_0

G. A. Tammann, B. Reindl

The light curve parameters of the normal type Ia SN2011fe are derived from the rich archive of the AAVSO. This leads, together with the TRGB distance modulus of (m-M) = 29.39 +/- 0…

New period-luminosity and period-color relations of classical Cepheids. IV. The low-metallicity galaxies IC 1613, WLM, Pegasus, Sextans A and B, and Leo A in comparison to SMC

G. A. Tammann, B. Reindl, A. Sandage

The metal-poor, fundamental-mode (P0) and first-overtone (P1) Cepheids in the dwarf galaxies IC 1613, WLM, Pegasus, Sextans A, Sextans B, and Leo A are compared with the about equa…

The Linearity of the Cosmic Expansion Field from 300 to 30,000 km/s and the Bulk Motion of the Local Supercluster with Respect to the CMB

A. Sandage, B. Reindl, G. A. Tammann

The meaning of "linear expansion" is explained. Particularly accurate relative distances are compiled and homogenized a) for 246 SNe Ia and 35 clusters with v<30,000 km/s, and b) f…
