New period-luminosity and period-color relations of classical Cepheids: III. Cepheids in SMC
A. Sandage, G. A. Tammann, B. Reindl
The photometric data for 460 classical, fundamental-mode Cepheids in the SMC with log P > 0.4 measured by Udalski et al. have been analyzed for their P-C and P-L relations, and for…
The expansion field: The value of H_0
G. A. Tammann, A. Sandage, B. Reindl
Any calibration of the present value of the Hubble constant requires recession velocities and distances of galaxies. While the conversion of observed velocities into true recession…
Comparison of Distances from RR Lyrae Stars, the Tip of the Red-Giant Branch and Classical Cepheids
G. A. Tammann, A. Sandage, B. Reindl
The extragalactic distance scale relies heavily on Cepheids. However, it has become clear from observations and pulsation models that the slope and zero point of their P-L relation…
Can Lambda be determined from nearby Type Ia Supernovae?
P. Erni, G. A. Tammann
Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) are the best standard candles known today. At high redshift () SNe Ia are used to determine the Cosmological Constant Lambda with great success.…
The Distance to the Virgo Cluster from a Recalibrated Tully-Fisher Relation Based on HST Cepheids and a Demonstrated Teerikorpi Cluster Incompleteness Bias
Allan Sandage, G. A. Tammann
The importance of the distance of the Virgo cluster in the ongoing debate on the value of the Hubble constant is reviewed. A new calibration of the Tully-Fisher 21-cm line width-ab…
