Comparison of Hipparcos Trigonometric and Mount Wilson Spectroscopic Parallaxes for 90 Subgiants that Defined the Class in 1935

Allan Sandage, Rachael L. Beaton, Steven R. Majewski

A history is given of the discovery between 1914 and 1935 of stars of intermediate luminosity between giants and dwarfs with spectral types between G0 to K3. The Mt Wilson spectros…

New period-luminosity and period-color relations of classical Cepheids. IV. The low-metallicity galaxies IC 1613, WLM, Pegasus, Sextans A and B, and Leo A in comparison to SMC

G. A. Tammann, B. Reindl, A. Sandage

The metal-poor, fundamental-mode (P0) and first-overtone (P1) Cepheids in the dwarf galaxies IC 1613, WLM, Pegasus, Sextans A, Sextans B, and Leo A are compared with the about equa…

Amplitude Fine-Structure in the Cepheid P-L Relation I: Amplitude Distribution Across the RR Lyrae Instability Strip Mapped Using the Accessibility Restriction Imposed by the Horizontal Branch

Allan Sandage, Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Pasadena +2

The largest amplitude light curves for both RR Lyrae (RRL) variables and classical Cepheids with periods less than 10 days and greater than 20 days occur at the blue edge of the re…

The Linearity of the Cosmic Expansion Field from 300 to 30,000 km/s and the Bulk Motion of the Local Supercluster with Respect to the CMB

A. Sandage, B. Reindl, G. A. Tammann

The meaning of "linear expansion" is explained. Particularly accurate relative distances are compiled and homogenized a) for 246 SNe Ia and 35 clusters with v<30,000 km/s, and b) f…

The Tolman Surface Brightness Test for the Reality of the Expansion. V. Provenance of the Test and a New Representation of the Data for Three Remote HST Galaxy Clusters

Allan Sandage

A new reduction is made of the HST photometric data for E galaxies in three remote clusters at redshifts near z=0.85 in search for the Tolman surface brightness (SB) signal for the…

New period-luminosity and period-color relations of classical Cepheids: III. Cepheids in SMC

A. Sandage, G. A. Tammann, B. Reindl

The photometric data for 460 classical, fundamental-mode Cepheids in the SMC with log P > 0.4 measured by Udalski et al. have been analyzed for their P-C and P-L relations, and for…
