Extragalactic Planetary Nebulae (xPNe). Determining Distances out to 100 Mpc and the Renaissance of the PN Luminosity Function Method
Magda Arnaboldi, Ortwin Gerhard, Martin Roth +9
The discrepancy of the Hubble parameter H0 as measured from the cosmic microwave background versus that found from traditional distance ladder measurements has produced considerabl…
The PICS Project: II. Circumnebular extinction variations and their effect on the planetary nebula luminosity function
Lucas M. Valenzuela, George H. Jacoby, Rhea-Silvia Remus +2
For decades, the theoretical understanding of planetary nebulae (PNe) has remained in tension with the observed universal bright-end cutoff of the PN luminosity function (PNLF). Th…
Towards Precision Cosmology With Improved PNLF Distances Using VLT-MUSE. III. Impact of Stellar Populations in Early-Type Galaxy
Azlizan A. Soemitro, Lucas M. Valenzuela, Martin M. Roth +5
Distance measurements using the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF) rely on the bright-end power-law cut-off magnitude (), which is defined by a number of the [OIII]$\…
The Critical Role of Dust On The [O III] Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function's Bright-End Cutoff
George H. Jacoby, Robin Ciardullo
We examine the relationship between circumnebular extinction and core mass for sets of [O III]-bright planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Large Magellanic Cloud and M31. We confirm that…
