Evolved Supergiants in PHANGS I: Red Supergiants in 19 Galaxies between 5-20 Mpc with HST and JWST
Sumit K. Sarbadhicary, David Thilker, Adam K. Leroy +17
Red supergiants (RSGs) are important for our understanding of supernova progenitors, stellar populations, stellar evolution, mass loss and dust production. Extragalactic surveys of…
The Local Distance Network: a community consensus report on the measurement of the Hubble constant at 1% precision
H0DN Collaboration, Stefano Casertano, Gagandeep Anand +35
The direct, empirical determination of the local value of the Hubble constant (H0) has markedly advanced thanks to improved instrumentation, measurement techniques, and distance es…
The Hidden Life of Stars: Embedded Beginnings to AGB Endings in the PHANGS-JWST Sample. I. Catalog of Mid-IR Sources
Hamid Hassani, Erik Rosolowsky, Adam K. Leroy +28
We present a multiwavelength catalog of mid-infrared-selected compact sources in 19 nearby galaxies, combining JWST NIRCam/MIRI, HST UV-optical broadband, H narrow-band, and ALM…
The Perfect Host: JWST Cepheid Observations in a Background-Free SN Ia Host Confirm No Bias in Hubble-Constant Measurements
Adam G. Riess, Siyang Li, Gagandeep S. Anand +8
Cycle 1 JWST observations of Cepheids in SN Ia hosts resolved their red-giant-dominated NIR backgrounds, sharply reducing crowding and showing that photometric bias in lower-resolu…
The First RELHIC? Cloud-9 is a Starless Gas Cloud
Gagandeep S. Anand, Alejandro Benítez-Llambay, Rachael Beaton +3
Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) observations have recently identified a compact HI cloud (hereafter Cloud-9) in the vicinity of the spiral galaxy M94. This i…
Envisioning the Distance Ladder in the Era of the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Gagandeep Anand, Meredith Durbin, Rachael Beaton +2
The current state-of-the-art cosmic distance ladder requires three rungs--geometric distances, primary indicators, and Type Ia Supernovae--to achieve a 1% measurement of the Hubble…
The infrared jet of M87 observed with JWST
Jan Röder, Maciek Wielgus, Joseph B. Jensen +2
We present the first JWST+NIRCam images of the giant elliptical active galaxy M87 and its jet at 0.90, 1.50, 2.77 and 3.56 m. We analysed the large-scale jet structure, identify…
Converging on the Cepheid Metallicity Dependence: Implications of Non-Standard Gaia Parallax Recalibration on Distance Measures
Louise Breuval, Gagandeep S. Anand, Richard I. Anderson +20
By comparing Cepheid brightnesses with geometric distance measures including Gaia EDR3 parallaxes, most recent analyses conclude metal-rich Cepheids are brighter, quantified as $γ\…
The Complete Sample of Available SNe Ia Luminosity Calibrations from the TRGB Observed with either HST or JWST
Siyang Li, Adam G. Riess, Gagandeep S. Anand +4
Distance ladders which calibrate the luminosity of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) currently provide the strongest constraints on the local value of H0. Recent studies from the Hubble…
The CosmoVerse White Paper: Addressing observational tensions in cosmology with systematics and fundamental physics
Eleonora Di Valentino, Jackson Levi Said, Adam Riess +533
The standard model of cosmology has provided a good phenomenological description of a wide range of observations both at astrophysical and cosmological scales for several decades.…
A Sizable Discrepancy in Ground-Based JAGB Distances to Nearby Galaxies
Gagandeep S. Anand
Recently, Freedman et al. (2024) report agreement of distances derived from the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) and the J-Region Asymptotic Giant Branch (JAGB) at the 1 leve…
JAGB 2.0: Improved Constraints on the J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch-based Hubble Constant from an Expanded Sample of JWST Observations
Siyang Li, Adam G. Riess, Daniel Scolnic +2
The J-region Asymptotic Giant Branch (JAGB) is an overdensity of stars in the near-infrared, attributed to carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch stars, and recently used as a standar…
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…
