Gathering Galaxy Distances in Abundance with Roman Wide-Area Data
John P. Blakeslee, Michele Cantiello, Michael J. Hudson +5
The extragalactic distance scale is fundamental to our understanding of astrophysics and cosmology. In recent years, the surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) method, applied in the…
Cosmicflows-4
R. Brent Tully, Ehsan Kourkchi, Hélène M. Courtois +14
With Cosmicflows-4, distances are compiled for 55,877 galaxies gathered into 38,065 groups. Eight methodologies are employed, with the largest numbers coming from the correlations…
Connecting Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances to Type Ia Supernova Hosts: Testing the Top Rung of the Distance Ladder
Peter Garnavich, Charlotte M. Wood, Peter Milne +6
We compare infrared surface brightness fluctuation (IR SBF) distances measured in galaxies that have hosted type Ia supernovae (SNIa) to distances estimated from SNIa light curve f…
The Hubble Constant from Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances
John P. Blakeslee, Joseph B. Jensen, Chung-Pei Ma +2
We present a measurement of the Hubble constant from surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distances for 63 bright, mainly early-type galaxies out to 100 Mpc observed with the…
Probing the Time Domain with High Spatial Resolution
J. P. Blakeslee, S. A. Rodney, J. M. Lotz +17
Two groundbreaking new facilities will commence operations early in the 2020s and thereafter define much of the broad landscape of US optical-infrared astronomy in the remaining de…
A Precise Distance to the Host Galaxy of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817 Using Surface Brightness Fluctuations
Michele Cantiello, J. B. Jensen, J. P. Blakeslee +25
The joint detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation from the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817 has provided unprecedented insight into a wide range of…
