A First Look at Cepheids in a SN Ia Host with JWST

Wenlong Yuan, Adam G. Riess, Stefano Casertano +1

We report the first look at extragalactic Cepheid variables with the James Webb Space Telescope, obtained from a serendipitous (to this purpose) observation of NGC 1365, host of an…

A sub-2% Distance to M31 from Photometrically Homogeneous Near-Infrared Cepheid Period-Luminosity Relations Measured with the Hubble Space Telescope

Siyang Li, Adam G. Riess, Michael P. Busch +3

We present Period-Luminosity Relations (PLRs) for 55 Cepheids in M31 with periods ranging from 4 to 78 days observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) using the same three-band…

Cosmic Distances Calibrated to 1% Precision with Gaia EDR3 Parallaxes and Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of 75 Milky Way Cepheids Confirm Tension with LambdaCDM

Adam G. Riess, Stefano Casertano, Wenlong Yuan +4

We present an expanded sample of 75 Milky Way Cepheids with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry and Gaia EDR3 parallaxes which we use to recalibrate the extragalactic distance…

The Cepheid Distance to the Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4051

Wenlong Yuan, Lucas M. Macri, Bradley M. Peterson +15

We derive a distance of ~Mpc (~mag) to the archetypal narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4051 based on Cepheid Period--Luminosity relations and new…

The Cepheid Distance to the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 4151

Wenlong Yuan, Michael M. Fausnaugh, Samantha L. Hoffmann +15

We derive a distance of Mpc to the archetypical Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151 based on the near-infrared Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation and new Hubble Space Telescope…

On the Color-Metallicity Relation of the Red Clump and the Reddening Toward the Magellanic Clouds

David M. Nataf, Santi Cassisi, Luca Casagrande +2

The zero point of the reddening toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has been the subject of some dispute. Its uncertainty propagates as a systematic error for methods which mea…
