Cepheids, Eclipsing Binaries and the Distance Scale: from the Galaxy to the Local Group
Lucas M. Macri
I present a review of recent observational work on Cepheid variables and eclipsing binaries in our Galaxy, the Magellanic Clouds, and other members of the Local Group.
Using Local Group Galaxies to Investigate the Influence of Blending on Cepheid Distances and the Cosmological Distance Scale
B. J. Mochejska, L. M. Macri, D. D. Sasselov +1
We investigate the influence of blending on the Cepheid distance scale using two Local Group galaxies, M31 and M33. Blending leads to systematically low distances to galaxies obser…
The DIRECT Project
Lucas Macri
The DIRECT project aims to determine direct distances to two important galaxies in the cosmological distance ladder -- M31 and M33 -- using detached eclipsing binaries (DEBs) and C…
Type Ia Supernovae and the Value of the Hubble Constant
Brad K. Gibson, Chris B. Brook
The methodology involved in deriving the Hubble Constant via the calibration of the corrected peak luminosities of Type Ia supernovae (SNe) is reviewed. We first present a re-analy…
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 Hubble Space Telescope Key Project to Measure the Hubble Constant
Wendy L. Freedman, Jeremy R. Mould, Robert C. Kennicutt +1
A review of the Hubble Space Telescope H0 Key Project is given, as presented at the IAU Symposium 183 on "Cosmological Parameters" held in Kyoto, Japan in August, 1997. An outline…
