The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. IV. The Distances to NGC 4424, NGC 4526, and NGC 4536 via the Tip of the Red Giant Branch

Dylan Hatt, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +8

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is undertaking a re-calibration of the extragalactic distance scale, using Type Ia supernovae that are tied to Tip of the Red Giant Branc…

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. II. The Distance to IC 1613: The Tip of the Red Giant Branch and RR Lyrae Period-Luminosity Relations

Dylan Hatt, Rachael L. Beaton, Wendy L. Freedman +8

IC 1613 is an isolated dwarf galaxy within the Local Group. Low foreground and internal extinction, low metallicity, and low crowding make it an invaluable testbed for the calibrat…

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. I. An Independent Approach to the Extragalactic Distance Scale Using only Population II Distance Indicators

Rachael L. Beaton, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +15

We present an overview of the Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program, an ongoing program to obtain a 3 per cent measurement of the Hubble constant using alternative methods to the traditi…

The Calibration of the WISE W1 and W2 Tully-Fisher Relation

J. D. Neill, Mark Seibert, R. Brent Tully +5

In order to explore local large-scale structures and velocity fields, accurate galaxy distance measures are needed. We now extend the well-tested recipe for calibrating the correla…

The Carnegie Hubble Program: The Infrared Leavitt Law in IC 1613

Victoria Scowcroft, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +5

We have observed the dwarf galaxy IC 1613, at multiple epochs in the mid--infrared using Spitzer and contemporaneously in the near--infrared using the new FourStar near-IR camera o…

Calibration of the Mid-Infrared Tully-Fisher Relation

Jenny G. Sorce, Helene M. Courtois, R. Brent Tully +7

Distance measures on a coherent scale around the sky are required to address the outstanding cosmological problems of the Hubble Constant and of departures from the mean cosmic flo…
