The Star Formation Histories of Disk and E/S0 Galaxies from Resolved Stars
Knut A. G. Olsen, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Abhijit Saha +3
The resolved stellar populations of local galaxies, from which it is possible to derive complete star formation and chemical enrichment histories, provide an important way to study…
I Zw 18 revisited with HST/ACS and Cepheids: New Distance and Age
A. Aloisi, G. Clementini, M. Tosi +9
We present new V and I-band HST/ACS photometry of I Zw 18, the most metal-poor blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy in the nearby universe. It has been argued in the past that I Zw 18 i…
Leo A: A Late-Blooming Survivor of the Epoch of Reionization in the Local Group
A. A. Cole, E. D. Skillman, E. Tolstoy +8
As part of a major program to use isolated Local Group dwarf galaxies as near-field probes of cosmology, we have obtained deep images of the dwarf irregular galaxy Leo A with the A…
A New Deep HST/ACS CMD of I Zw 18: Evidence for Red Giant Branch Stars
A. Aloisi, F. Annibali, J. Mack +8
We present results from new deep HST/ACS photometry of I Zw 18, the most metal-poor blue compact dwarf galaxy in the nearby universe. It has been previously argued that this is a v…
The Hubble Constant: A Summary of the HST Program for the Luminosity Calibration of Type Ia Supernovae by Means of Cepheids
A. Sandage, G. A. Tammann, A. Saha +3
This is the fifth and final summary paper of our 15 year program using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to determine the Hubble constant using Type Ia supernovae, calibrated with C…
The Effect of Metallicity on Cepheid-Based Distances
Shoko Sakai, Laura Ferrarese, Rob Kennicutt +1
We have used the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain V and I images of seven nearby galaxies. For each, we have measured a distance usin…
