A distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud that is precise to one per cent
G. Pietrzynski, D. Graczyk, A. Gallenne +19
In the era of precision cosmology, it is essential to empirically determine the Hubble constant with an accuracy of one per cent or better. At present, the uncertainty on this cons…
The Araucaria Project. On the Tip of the Red Giant Branch distance determination to the Magellanic Clouds
Marek Gorski, Grzegorz Pietrzynski, Wolfgang Gieren +8
We present a precise optical and near-infrared determination of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) brightness in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (respectively LMC and SMC…
Galactoseismology: Discovery of a cluster of receding, variable halo stars
Sukanya Chakrabarti, Rodolfo Angeloni, Kenneth Freeman +13
A dynamical characterization of dark matter dominated dwarf galaxies from their observed effects on galactic disks (i.e. Galactoseismology) has remained an elusive goal. Here, we p…
The Araucaria Project: The distance to the Carina Dwarf Galaxy from infrared photometry of RR Lyrae stars
P. Karczmarek, G. Pietrzyński, W. Gieren +6
We obtained single-phase near-infrared (NIR) magnitudes in the - and -band for a sample of 33 RR Lyrae stars in the Carina dSph galaxy. Applying different theoretical and emp…
An eclipsing binary distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud accurate to 2 per cent
G. Pietrzyński, D. Graczyk, W. Gieren +25
In the era of precision cosmology it is essential to determine the Hubble Constant with an accuracy of 3% or better. Currently, its uncertainty is dominated by the uncertainty in t…
