Infrared Tip of the Red Giant Branch and Distances to the Maffei/IC 342 Group

Po-Feng Wu, R. Brent Tully, Luca Rizzi +3

In this paper, we extend the use of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) method to near-infrared wavelengths from previously-used -band, using the \textit{Hubble Space Telesco…

Confirmation of Faint Dwarf Galaxies in the M81 Group

Kristin Chiboucas, Bradley A. Jacobs, R. Brent Tully +1

We have followed up on the results of a 65 square degree CFHT/MegaCam imaging survey of the nearby M81 Group searching for faint and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies. The original survey…

Cosmicflows-2: The Data

R. Brent Tully, Helene M. Courtois, Andrew E. Dolphin +11

Cosmicflows-2 is a compilation of distances and peculiar velocities for over 8000 galaxies. Numerically the largest contributions come from the luminosity-linewidth correlation for…

Identification of a Complete 160 micron Flux-Limited Sample of Infrared Galaxies in the ISO Lockman Hole 1-Deg^2 Deep Fields: Source Properties and Evidence for Strong Evolution in the FIR Luminosity Function for ULIRGs

Bradley A. Jacobs, David B. Sanders, David S. N. Rupke +13

We have identified a complete, flux-limited, (S_160>120 mJy), sample of 160 micron-selected sources from Spitzer observations of the 1-deg^2 ISO Deep Field region in the Lockman Ho…

The Star Formation History of Isolated Dwarf UGC4879

Bradley A. Jacobs, R. Brent Tully, Luca Rizzi +3

Recent observations of UGC4879 with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope confirm that it is a nearby isolated dwarf irregular galaxy. We measure a distance…

A New Distance to M33 Using Blue Supergiants and the FGLR Method

Vivian U, Miguel A. Urbaneja, Rolf-Peter Kudritzki +3

The quantitative spectral analysis of medium resolution optical spectra of A and B supergiants obtained with DEIMOS and ESI at the Keck Telescopes is used to determine a distance m…

The Extragalactic Distance Database

R Brent Tully, L Rizzi, E J Shaya +3

A database can be accessed on the web at http://edd.ifa.hawaii.edu that was developed to promote access to information related to galaxy distances. The database has three functiona…
