Type Ia Supernovae and the Value of the Hubble Constant
Brad K. Gibson, Chris B. Brook
The methodology involved in deriving the Hubble Constant via the calibration of the corrected peak luminosities of Type Ia supernovae (SNe) is reviewed. We first present a re-analy…
The Hubble Constant from the HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale
Laura Ferrarese, Brad Gibson, Daniel Kelson +14
The final efforts of the HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale are presented. Four distance indicators, the Surface Brightness Fluctuation method, the Fundamental Pla…
A Cepheid Distance to the Fornax Cluster
B. F. Madore, W. L. Freedman, N. Silbermann +13
The Hubble Space Telescope is being used to measure accurate Cepheid distances to nearby galaxies with the ultimate aim of determining the Hubble constant, H_0. For the first time,…
FCC 35 and its HI Companion: Multi-Wavelength Observations and Interpretation
M. E. Putman, M. Bureau, J. R. Mould +2
The Fornax cluster galaxy FCC 35 shows an unusual multiply-peaked integrated HI profile (Bureau, Mould & Staveley-Smith 1996). We have now observed FCC 35 with the Australia Telesc…
The Hubble Space Telescope Key Project to Measure the Hubble Constant
Wendy L. Freedman, Jeremy R. Mould, Robert C. Kennicutt +1
A review of the Hubble Space Telescope H0 Key Project is given, as presented at the IAU Symposium 183 on "Cosmological Parameters" held in Kyoto, Japan in August, 1997. An outline…
K Corrections For Type Ia Supernovae and a Test for Spatial Variation of the Hubble Constant
A. Kim, S. Deustua, S. Gabi +23
Cross-filter K corrections for a sample of "normal" Type Ia supernovae (SNe) have been calculated for a range of epochs. With appropriate filter choices, the combined statistical a…
