KDG 162: A Nearby Isolated Star-forming Dwarf Galaxy

Gagandeep S. Anand, Igor D. Karachentsev, Meredith J. Durbin +6

The nearby dwarf galaxy KDG 162 (also known as KK 153) has recently attracted attention as a potentially gas-rich, isolated, and low-mass dwarf galaxy. However, many of these chara…

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…

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\…

JWST Validates HST Distance Measurements: Selection of Supernova Subsample Explains Differences in JWST Estimates of Local H0

Adam G. Riess, Dan Scolnic, Gagandeep S. Anand +16

JWST provides new opportunities to cross-check the HST Cepheid/SNeIa distance ladder, which yields the most precise local measure of H0. We analyze early JWST subsamples (~1/4 of t…

Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances with JWST. II. I-band Measurements in a Sample of Hosts of 10 SN Ia Match HST Cepheids

Siyang Li, Gagandeep S. Anand, Adam G. Riess +7

The Hubble Tension, a >5 sigma discrepancy between direct and indirect measurements of the Hubble constant (H0), has persisted for a decade and motivated intense scrutiny of the pa…

The Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distance Ladder and the Hubble Constant

Siyang Li, Rachael L. Beaton

While the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) has been used as a distance indicator since the early 1990's, its application to measure the Hubble Constant as a primary distance indi…

Resolved Near-infrared Stellar Photometry from the Magellan Telescope for 13 Nearby Galaxies: JAGB Method Distances

Abigail J. Lee, Andrew J. Monson, Wendy L. Freedman +6

We present near-infrared JHK photometry for the resolved stellar populations in 13 nearby galaxies: NGC 6822, IC 1613, NGC 3109, Sextans B, Sextans A, NGC 300, NGC 55, NGC 7793, NG…

Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances with JWST: An Absolute Calibration in NGC 4258 and First Applications to Type Ia Supernova Hosts

Gagandeep S. Anand, Adam G. Riess, Wenlong Yuan +12

The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) allows for the measurement of precise and accurate distances to nearby galaxies, based on the brightest ascent of low-mass red giant branch s…
