The distance to Hydra and Centaurus from surface brightness fluctuations: Consequences for the Great Attractor model
S. Mieske, M. Hilker, L. Infante
We present I-band Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) measurements for 16 early type galaxies (3 giants, 13 dwarfs) in the central region of the Hydra cluster, based on deep phot…
