The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey V: SBF Calibration for Giant and Dwarf Early-type Galaxies
Simona Mei, John P. Blakeslee, John L. Tonry +7
As part of the Advanced Camera for Survey (ACS) Virgo Cluster Survey, we have measured Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) in a sample of 100 early-type Virgo galaxies. Distances…
Supermassive Black Hole Research in the Post-HST Era
Laura Ferrarese
Thanks to its unprecedented spatial resolution, the Hubble Space Telescope has ended a 20-year long stalemate by detecting the dynamical signature of nuclear supermassive black hol…
Supermassive Black Holes
Laura Ferrarese, David Merritt
After a brief historical introduction, we summarize current efforts and accomplishments in the study of supermassive black holes.
Relationship of Black Holes to Bulges
David Merritt, Laura Ferrarese
Supermassive black holes appear to be uniquely associated with galactic bulges. The mean ratio of black hole mass to bulge mass was until recently very uncertain, with ground based…
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…
