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…
The MASSIVE Survey IX: Photometric Analysis of 35 High Mass Early-Type Galaxies with HST WFC3/IR
Charles F. Goullaud, Joseph B. Jensen, John P. Blakeslee +3
We present near-infrared observations of 35 of the most massive early-type galaxies in the local universe. The observations were made using the infrared channel of the Hubble Space…
Astronomical Distance Determination in the Space Age. Secondary distance indicators
Bozena Czerny, Rachael Beaton, Michal Bejger +11
The formal division of the distance indicators into primary and secondary leads to difficulties in description of methods which can actually be used in two ways: with, and without…
The Globular Cluster System of the Coma cD Galaxy NGC 4874 from Hubble Space Telescope ACS and WFC3/IR Imaging
Hyejeon Cho, John P. Blakeslee, Ana L. Chies-Santos +4
We present new HST optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry of the rich globular cluster (GC) system of NGC 4874, the cD galaxy in the core of the Coma cluster (Abell 1656). NGC…
Measuring Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances with HST WFC3: Calibration and Advice
Joseph B. Jensen, John P. Blakeslee, Zachary Gibson +5
We present new calibrations of the near-infrared surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distance method for the F110W (J) and F160W (H) bandpasses of the Wide Field Camera 3 Infrared…
