WFPC2 Stellar Photometry with HSTphot
- A. Dolphin
- Physics, Geology
- 1 June 2000
HSTphot, a photometry package designed to handle the undersampled PSFs found in WFPC2 images, is introduced and described, as well as some of the considerations that have to be made in order to…
COSMICFLOWS-2: THE DATA
- R. Tully, H. Courtois, Po-Feng Wu
- Physics
- 27 July 2013
Cosmicflows-2 is a compilation of distances and peculiar velocities for over 8000 galaxies. Numerically the largest contributions come from the luminosity-line width correlation for spirals, the…
Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances. II. Zero-Point Calibration
The luminosity of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) provides an excellent measure of galaxy distances and is easily determined in the resolved images of nearby galaxies observed with Hubble…
The Charge‐Transfer Efficiency and Calibration of WFPC2
- A. Dolphin
- Physics
- 1 June 2000
A new determination of WFPC2 photometric corrections is presented, using HSTphot reduction of the WFPC2 ω Centauri and NGC 2419 observations from 1994 January through 2000 March and a comparison with…
The ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury
- J. Dalcanton, B. Williams, T. Quinn
- Physics
- 1 December 2007
The ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury (ANGST) is a systematic survey to establish a legacy of uniform multi-color photometry of resolved stars for a volume-limited sample of nearby galaxies (D 14…
Distances to nearby galaxies in Sculptor
- I. Karachentsev, E. Grebel, P. Seitzer
- Physics
- 4 February 2003
We present an analysis of Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 images of nine nearby galaxies in Sculptor. We derive their distances from the luminosity of the tip of the red giant branch stars with a…
The Cepheid distance to NGC 5236 (M83) with the ESO Very Large Telescope
- F. Thim, G. Tammann, L. Labhardt
- Physics
- 10 June 2003
Cepheids have been observed in NGC 5236 (M83) using the Antu (Unit Telescope 1) 8.2 m telescope of the ESO Very Large Telescope with the Focal Reducer/Low Dispersion Spectrograph 1. Repeated imaging…
The ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury. IX. Constraining Asymptotic Giant Branch Evolution with Old Metal-poor Galaxies
- L. Girardi, B. Williams, E. Skillman
- Physics
- 23 September 2010
In an attempt to constrain evolutionary models of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase at the limit of low masses and low metallicities, we have examined the luminosity functions and number ratios…
Numerical methods of star formation history measurement and applications to seven dwarf spheroidals
- A. Dolphin
- Physics
- 13 December 2001
A comprehensive study of the measurement of star formation histories from colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) is presented, with an emphasis on a variety of subtle issues involved in the generation of…
The M 81 group of galaxies: New distances, kinematics and structure ?;??
- I. Karachentsev, A. Dolphin, M. Sharina
- Physics
- 1 February 2002
We present Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 images of the galaxies NGC 2366, NGC 2976, NGC 4236, IC 2574, DDO 53, DDO 82, DDO 165, Holmberg I, Holmberg II, Holmberg IX, K52, K73, BK3N, Garland, and…
