Testing the Supernova, Cepheid, and Early-type Galaxy Distance Scales
John P. Blakeslee
I summarize recent work comparing relative distances measured to individual galaxies with independent methods. The comparisons include: ground-based surface brightness fluctuation…
Early-type Galaxy Distances from the Fundamental Plane and Surface Brightness Fluctuations
John P. Blakeslee, John R. Lucey, John L. Tonry +3
We compare two methods for deriving distances to early-type galaxies: fundamental plane (FP) and surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) distances for 170 galaxies. A third set of di…
Early-type galaxies in the SDSS
M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth, J. Annis +28
A sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01<z<0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. The sample…
Cluster-Cluster Lensing in Abell 2152
John P. Blakeslee
We discuss lensing properties of the nearby cluster Abell 2152. Recent work shows that Abell 2152 is actually the projection of two different clusters, one of which is a Hercules s…
A Synthesis of Data from Fundamental Plane and Surface Brightness Fluctuation Surveys
John P. Blakeslee, John R. Lucey, Brian J. Barris +2
We perform a series of comparisons between distance-independent photometric and spectroscopic properties used in the surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) and fundamental plane (FP…
Reconciliation of the Surface Brightness Fluctuations and Type Ia Supernovae Distance Scales
Edward A. Ajhar, John L. Tonry, John P. Blakeslee +2
We present Hubble Space Telescope measurements of surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) distances to early-type galaxies that have hosted Type Ia supernovae (SNIa). The agreement i…
