Carbon stars as standard candles: II. The median J magnitude as a distance indicator
Javiera Parada, Jeremy Heyl, Harvey Richer +2
We introduce a new distance determination method using carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch stars (CS) as standard candles and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) as…

Carbon stars as standard candles: I. The luminosity function of carbon stars in the Magellanic Clouds
Paul Ripoche, Jeremy Heyl, Javiera Parada +1
Our goal in this paper is to derive a carbon-star luminosity function that will eventually be used to determine distances to galaxies at - Mpc and hence yield a value of th…
