A revised Cepheid distance to NGC 4258 and a test of the distance scale

Jeffrey A. Newman, Laura Ferrarese, Peter B. Stetson +5

In a previous paper (Maoz et al. 1999), we reported a Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Cepheid distance to the galaxy NGC 4258 obtained using the calibrations and methods then standard…

A Cepheid distance to NGC 4258

Eyal Maoz, Jeffrey A. Newman, Laura Ferrarese +5

Distances measured using Cepheid variable stars have been essential for establishing the cosmological distance scale and the value of the Hubble constant. These stars have remained…

A Test For An Intervening Stellar Population As The Origin of Microlensing Events Toward the LMC

Eyal Maoz

Short version: Zaritsky and Lin (1997, ZL97) have recently presented observations which can be interpreted as evidence for an intervening stellar population along the line-of-sight…

Dynamical Constraints On Alternatives To Massive Black Holes In Galactic Nuclei

Eyal Maoz

The compelling dynamical evidence for massive dark objects in galactic nuclei does not uniquely imply massive black holes (BHs). To argue convincingly that these objects are BHs we…

Doppler-Shift Asymmetry in High-Velocity Maser Emission from Shocks in Circumnuclear Disks

Eyal Maoz, Christopher F. McKee

SHORT VERSION: The rapidly rotating, masing circumnuclear disk in the central sub-parsec region of the galaxy NGC 4258 is remarkably circular and Keplerian, yet a striking asymmetr…

Spiral Structure In The Circum-nuclear Disk At The Center Of The Galaxy NGC 4258

Eyal Maoz

Observations of line emission from water masers near the center of the galaxy NGC 4258 have recently provided compelling evidence for rotating disk of gas, viewed nearly edge-on, s…
