The Distance to the Large Magellanic Cloud
Brad K. Gibson
A summary of recent Large Magellanic Cloud distance determinations mu(LMC) is presented, with an eye towards pinpointing the source(s) of the resulting large discrepancies encounte…
A Database of Cepheid Distance Moduli and TRGB, GCLF, PNLF and SBF Data Useful for Distance Determinations
Laura Ferrarese, Holland C. Ford, John Huchra +14
We present a compilation of Cepheid distance moduli and data for four secondary distance indicators that employ stars in the old stellar populations: the planetary nebula luminosit…
The Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale XXIV: The Calibration of Tully-Fisher Relations and the Value of the Hubble Constant
Shoko Sakai, Jeremy R. Mould, Shaun M. G. Hughes +15
This paper presents the calibration of BVRIH$ Tully-Fisher relations based on Cepheid distances to 21 galaxies within 25 Mpc, and 23 clusters within 10,000 km/s. These relations ha…
The HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. XXVIII. Combining the Constraints on the Hubble Constant
Jeremy R Mould, John P Huchra, Wendy L Freedman +14
Since the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope nine years ago, Cepheid distances to 25 galaxies have been determined for the purpose of calibrating secondary distance indicators. A…
The Extragalactic Distance Scale Key Project XXVII. A Derivation of the Hubble Constant Using the Fundamental Plane and Dn-Sigma Relations in Leo I, Virgo, and Fornax
Daniel D. Kelson, Garth D. Illingworth, John L. Tonry +18
Using published photometry and spectroscopy, we construct the fundamental plane and D_n-Sigma relations in Leo I, Virgo and Fornax. The published Cepheid P-L relations to spirals i…
The Hubble Constant from the HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale
Laura Ferrarese, Brad Gibson, Daniel Kelson +14
The final efforts of the HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale are presented. Four distance indicators, the Surface Brightness Fluctuation method, the Fundamental Pla…
The HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale XXVI. The Calibration of Population II Secondary Distance Indicators and the Value of the Hubble Constant
Laura Ferrarese, Jeremy R. Mould, Robert C. Kennicutt +14
A Cepheid-based calibration is derived for four distance indicators that utilize stars in the old stellar populations: the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB), the planetary nebula…
The HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale XXV. A Recalibration of Cepheid Distances to Type Ia Supernovae and the Value of the Hubble Constant
Brad K. Gibson, Peter B. Stetson, Wendy L. Freedman +14
Cepheid-based distances to seven Type Ia supernovae (SNe)-host galaxies have been derived using the standard HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale pipeline. For the f…
The Hubble Space Telescope Extragalactic Distance Scale Key Project XXIII. The Discovery of Cepheids In NGC 3319
Shoko Sakai, Laura Ferrarese, Robert C. Kennicutt +21
The distance to NGC 3319 has been determined from Cepheid variable stars as part of the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. Thirteen and four ep…
The HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. XXII. The Discovery of Cepheids in NGC 1326-A
Charles F. Prosser, Robert C. Kennicutt, Fabio Bresolin +17
We report on the detection of Cepheids and the first distance measurement to the spiral galaxy NGC 1326-A, a member of the Fornax cluster of galaxies. We have employed data obtaine…
New Galaxies Discovered in the First Blind HI Survey of the Centaurus A Group
G. D. Banks, M. J. Disney, P. M. Knezek +26
We have commenced a 21-cm survey of the entire southern sky (δ< 0 degrees, -1200 km/s < v < 12700 km/s) which is ''blind'', i.e. unbiased by previous optical information. In the pr…
The Spectroscopic Age of 47 Tuc
Brad K. Gibson, Darren S. Madgwick, Lewis A. Jones +2
High signal-to-noise integrated spectra of the metal-rich globular cluster 47 Tuc, spanning the H-gamma(HR) and Fe4668 line indices, have been obtained. The combination of these in…
Summary of Recent Progress in Understanding HVCs
Bart P. Wakker, Hugo van Woerden, Brad K. Gibson
The study of high-velocity clouds has progressed much since the appearance of the review article by Wakker & van Woerden (1997), less than two years ago. Much of this progress is d…
