I-Band Asymptotic Giant Branch (IAGB) Stars: II. A First Estimate of their Precision and a Differential Zero Point
Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Taylor Hoyt +3
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of 92 galaxies that have a strong showing of I-band Asymptotic Giant Branch (IAGB) stars in their color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs), are use…
I-Band Asymptotic Giant Branch (IAGB) Stars: I. Exploring a New Standard Candle for the Extragalactic Distance Scale
Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman, Taylor Hoyt +3
In the I-band color-magnitude diagrams (CMD) of resolved nearby galaxies, the reddest asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars form a previously unremarked-upon, but nevertheless distin…
Quantifying Uncertainties on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method
Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman Kayla A. Owens, In Sung Jang
We present an extensive grid of numerical simulations quantifying the uncertainties in measurements of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB). These simulations incorporate a lumin…
