Extragalactic Planetary Nebulae (xPNe). Determining Distances out to 100 Mpc and the Renaissance of the PN Luminosity Function Method

Magda Arnaboldi, Ortwin Gerhard, Martin Roth +9

The discrepancy of the Hubble parameter H0 as measured from the cosmic microwave background versus that found from traditional distance ladder measurements has produced considerabl…

Towards Precision Cosmology With Improved PNLF Distances Using VLT-MUSE. III. Impact of Stellar Populations in Early-Type Galaxy

Azlizan A. Soemitro, Lucas M. Valenzuela, Martin M. Roth +5

Distance measurements using the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) rely on the bright-end power-law cut-off magnitude (), which is defined by a number of the [OIII]$\…

The PICS Project: II. Circumnebular extinction variations and their effect on the planetary nebula luminosity function

Lucas M. Valenzuela, George H. Jacoby, Rhea-Silvia Remus +2

For decades, the theoretical understanding of planetary nebulae (PNe) has remained in tension with the observed universal bright-end cutoff of the PN luminosity function (PNLF). Th…

The Critical Role of Dust On The [O III] Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function's Bright-End Cutoff

George H. Jacoby, Robin Ciardullo

We examine the relationship between circumnebular extinction and core mass for sets of [O III]-bright planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Large Magellanic Cloud and M31. We confirm that…

Integral Field Spectroscopy: a disruptive innovation for observations of Planetary Nebulae and the PNLF

Martin M. Roth, George Jacoby, Robin Ciardullo +3

A quarter of a century has passed since the observing technique of integral field spectroscopy (IFS) was first applied to planetary nebulae (PNe). Progress after the early experime…

Precision spectrophotometry for PNLF distances: the case of NGC 300

Azlizan A. Soemitro, Martin M. Roth, Peter M. Weilbacher +5

The Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) has enabled a renaissance of the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) as a standard candle. In the case of NGC 300, we learned t…
