On the correlation between dark matter, intracluster light and globular cluster distribution in SMACS0723

J. M. Diego, M. Pascale, B. Frye +9

We present a free-form model of SMACS0723, the first cluster observed with JWST. This model makes no strong assumptions about the distribution of mass (mostly dark matter) in the c…

Determination of the Local Hubble Constant from Virgo Infall Using TRGB Distances

Yoo Jung Kim, Jisu Kang, Myung Gyoon Lee +1

An independent determination of is crucial given the growing tension between the Hubble constant, , derived locally and that determined from the modeling of the cosmic m…

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. VIII. An Independent Determination of the Hubble Constant Based on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch

Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Dylan Hatt +10

We present a new and independent determination of the local value of the Hubble constant based on a calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) applied to Type Ia superno…

Type II Supernovae as Distance Indicators at Near-IR Wavelengths

Ó. Rodríguez, G. Pignata, M. Hamuy +13

Motivated by the advantages of observing at near-IR wavelengths, we investigate Type II supernovae (SNe II) as distance indicators at those wavelengths through the Photospheric Mag…

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. IV. The Distances to NGC 4424, NGC 4526, and NGC 4536 via the Tip of the Red Giant Branch

Dylan Hatt, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +8

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is undertaking a re-calibration of the extragalactic distance scale, using Type Ia supernovae that are tied to Tip of the Red Giant Branc…

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. II. The Distance to IC 1613: The Tip of the Red Giant Branch and RR Lyrae Period-Luminosity Relations

Dylan Hatt, Rachael L. Beaton, Wendy L. Freedman +8

IC 1613 is an isolated dwarf galaxy within the Local Group. Low foreground and internal extinction, low metallicity, and low crowding make it an invaluable testbed for the calibrat…

The Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances to Type Ia Supernova Host Galaxies. V. NGC 3021, NGC 3370, and NGC 1309 and the value of the Hubble Constant

In Sung Jang, Myung Gyoon Lee

We present final results of a program for the determination of the Hubble constant based on the calibration of the Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) using the Tip of the Red Giant Branch…

The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. I. An Independent Approach to the Extragalactic Distance Scale Using only Population II Distance Indicators

Rachael L. Beaton, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +15

We present an overview of the Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program, an ongoing program to obtain a 3 per cent measurement of the Hubble constant using alternative methods to the traditi…

The Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances to Type Ia Supernova Host Galaxies. II. M66 and M96 in the Leo I Group

Myung Gyoon Lee, In Sung Jang

M66 and M96 in the Leo I Group are nearby spiral galaxies hosting Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia). We estimate the distances to these galaxies from the luminosity of the tip of the red…

The Distance to M101 Hosting Type Ia SN 2011fe Based on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch

Myung Gyoon Lee, In Sung Jang

We present a new determination of the distance to M101, host of the type Ia SN 2011fe, based on the tip of the red giant branch method (TRGB). Our determination is based on {\it Hu…

Discovery of the most isolated globular cluster in the local universe

In Sung Jang, Sungsoon Lim, Hong Soo Park +1

We report the discovery of two new globular clusters in the remote halos of M81 and M82 in the M81 Group based on Hubble Space Telescope archive images. They are brighter than typi…
