Euclid: Calibrating distances from surface brightness fluctuations with Early Release Observations of the Fornax cluster

R. Habas, M. Cantiello, G. Riccio +169

Surface brightness fluctuations (SBF), the pixel-to-pixel variations in flux that arise from the statistical distribution of stars in galaxy images, provide a powerful tool to meas…

The TRGB-SBF Project. III. Refining the HST Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distance Scale Calibration with JWST

Joseph B. Jensen, John P. Blakeslee, Michele Cantiello +5

The TRGB-SBF Project team is developing an independent distance ladder using a geometrical calibration of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) method in elliptical galaxies that…

The TRGB-SBF Project. II. Resolving the Virgo Cluster with JWST

Gagandeep S. Anand, R. Brent Tully, Yotam Cohen +9

The Virgo Cluster is the nearest substantial cluster of galaxies to the Milky Way and a cornerstone of the extragalactic distance scale. Here, we present JWST/NIRCam observations t…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). III. A Catalog of Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances and the Three-Dimensional Distribution of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster

Michele Cantiello, John P. Blakeslee, Patrick Côté +9

The surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) method is a robust and efficient way of measuring distances to galaxies containing evolved stellar populations. Although many recent applic…

Gathering Galaxy Distances in Abundance with Roman Wide-Area Data

John P. Blakeslee, Michele Cantiello, Michael J. Hudson +5

The extragalactic distance scale is fundamental to our understanding of astrophysics and cosmology. In recent years, the surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) method, applied in the…
