The Discovery of Cepheids and a Distance to NGC 5128
Laura Ferrarese, Jeremy R. Mould, Peter B. Stetson +3
We discuss a new distance to NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) based on Cepheid variables observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Twelve F555W (V) and six F814W (I) epochs of cosmic-ray-spl…
The Centers of Early-Type Galaxies with HST. V. New WFPC2 Photometry
Tod R. Lauer, S. M. Faber, Karl Gebhardt +14
We analyze HST+WFPC2 images of 77 early-type galaxies. Brightness profiles are classed into "core" or "power-law" forms. Cores are typically rounder than power-law galaxies. Nearly…
Measuring Distances and Probing the Unresolved Stellar Populations of Galaxies Using Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuations
Joseph B. Jensen, John L. Tonry, Brian J. Barris +5
To empirically calibrate the IR surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distance scale and probe the properties of unresolved stellar populations, we measured fluctuations in 65 galax…
Reconciliation of the Surface Brightness Fluctuations and Type Ia Supernovae Distance Scales
Edward A. Ajhar, John L. Tonry, John P. Blakeslee +2
We present Hubble Space Telescope measurements of surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) distances to early-type galaxies that have hosted Type Ia supernovae (SNIa). The agreement i…
The Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Hubble Constant
Joseph B. Jensen, John L. Tonry, Rodger I. Thompson +5
We measured infrared surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distances to an isotropically-distributed sample of 16 distant galaxies with redshifts reaching 10,000 km/s using the near…
The SBF Survey of Galaxy Distances. IV. SBF Magnitudes, Colors, and Distances
John L. Tonry, Alan Dressler, John P. Blakeslee +5
We report data for band Surface Brightness Fluctuation (SBF) magnitudes, V-I colors, and distance moduli for 300 galaxies. The Survey contains E, S0 and early-type spiral galax…
