Distances to Local Group Galaxies via Population II, Stellar Distance Indicators. II. The Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal
Elias K. Oakes, Taylor J. Hoyt, Wendy L. Freedman +5
We determine three independent Population II distance moduli to the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, using wide-field, ground-based imaging acquired with the Magellan-Ba…
The Carnegie Chicago Hubble Program X: Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances to NGC 5643 and NGC 1404
Taylor J. Hoyt, Rachael L. Beaton, Wendy L. Freedman +7
The primary goal of the Carnegie Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is to calibrate the zero-point of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) Hubble Diagram through the use of Population II stand…
Multi-Wavelength, Optical (VI) and Near-Infrared (JHK) Calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method based on Milky Way Globular Clusters
William Cerny, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +5
Using high precision ground-based photometry for 46 low-reddening Galactic globular clusters, in conjunction with Gaia DR2 proper motions for member star selection, we have calibra…
The Astrophysical Distance Scale III: Distance to the Local Group Galaxy WLM using Multi-Wavelength Observations of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch, Cepheids, and JAGB Stars
Abigail J. Lee, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore +3
The local determination of the Hubble Constant sits at a crossroad. Current estimates of the local expansion rate of the Universe differ by about 1.7-sigma, derived from the Cephei…
The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. IX. Calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method in the Mega-Maser Host Galaxy, NGC4258 (M106)
In Sung Jang, Taylor Hoyt, Rachael Beaton +7
In the nearby galaxy NGC 4258, the well-modeled orbital motion of HO masers about its supermassive black hole provides the means to measure a precise geometric distance. As a r…
Calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB)
Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Taylor Hoyt +6
The Tip of the Red Giant (TRGB) method provides one of the most accurate and precise means of measuring the distances to nearby galaxies. Here we present a VIJHK absolute calibrati…
