The mid-infrared Leavitt Law for Classical Cepheids in the Magellanic Clouds
Abigail H. Chown, Victoria Scowcroft, Stijn Wuyts
The Cepheid Leavitt Law (LL), also known as the Period-Luminosity relation, is a crucial tool for assembling the cosmic distance ladder. By combining data from the OGLE-IV catalogu…
The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. VII. The Distance to M101 via the Optical Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method
Rachael L. Beaton, Mark Seibert, Dylan Hatt +9
The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is building a direct path to the Hubble constant (H0) using Population II stars as the calibrator of the SN Ia-based distance scale. This…
The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. V. The Distances to NGC 1448 and NGC 1316 via the Tip of the Red Giant Branch
Dylan Hatt, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +8
The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is re-calibrating the extragalactic SN Ia distance scale using exclusively Population II stars. This effort focuses on the Tip of the Red…
SMHASH: A new mid-infrared RR Lyrae distance determination for the Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor
Alessia Garofalo, Victoria Scowcroft, Gisella Clementini +12
We present a new distance estimation for the Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite Sculptor obtained from multi-epoch mid-infrared observations of RR Lyrae stars. The 3.6 μm observa…
The Near-Infrared Tip of the Red Giant Branch. I. A Calibration in the Isolated Dwarf Galaxy IC 1613
Barry F. Madore, Wendy L. Freedman, Dylan Hatt +8
Based on observations from the \emph{FourStar} near-infrared camera on the 6.5m Baade-Magellan telescope at Las Campanas, Chile, we present calibrations of the luminosities o…
SMHASH: Anatomy of the Orphan Stream using RR Lyrae stars
David Hendel, Victoria Scowcroft, Kathryn V. Johnston +30
Stellar tidal streams provide an opportunity to study the motion and structure of the disrupting galaxy as well as the gravitational potential of its host. Streams around the Milky…
