A Catalog of Neighboring Galaxies
- I. Karachentsev, V. Karachentseva, W. Huchtmeier, D. Makarov
- Physics
- 1 April 2004
We present an all-sky catalog of 451 nearby galaxies, each having an individual distance estimate D 10 Mpc or a radial velocity VLG -17.0, which contribute about 4% to the local luminosity density,…
The Extragalactic Distance Database
- R. Tully, L. Rizzi, E. Shaya, H. Courtois, D. Makarov, B. Jacobs
- Physics
- 20 February 2009
A database can be accessed on the Web at http://edd.ifa.hawaii.edu that was developed to promote access to information related to galaxy distances. The database has three functional components.…
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…
UPDATED NEARBY GALAXY CATALOG
- I. Karachentsev, D. Makarov, E. I. Kaisina
- Physics
- 12 March 2013
We present an all-sky catalog of 869 nearby galaxies having individual distance estimates within 11 Mpc or corrected radial velocities V LG < 600 km s–1. The catalog is a renewed and expanded version…
THE EXTRAGALACTIC DISTANCE DATABASE: COLOR-MAGNITUDE DIAGRAMS
- B. Jacobs, L. Rizzi, R. Tully, E. Shaya, D. Makarov, L. Makarova
- Physics
- 20 February 2009
The color-magnitude diagrams/tip of the red giant branch (CMDs/TRGB) section of the Extragalactic Distance Database contains a compilation of observations of nearby galaxies from the Hubble Space…
The Hubble Flow around the Centaurus A/M83 Galaxy Complex
- I. Karachentsev, R. Tully, L. Rizzi
- Physics
- 3 March 2006
We present Hubble Space Telescope ACS images and color-magnitude diagrams for 24 nearby galaxies in and near the constellation of Centaurus with radial velocities VLG < 550 km s-1. Distances are…
Associations of dwarf galaxies
The Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys has been used to determine accurate distances for 20 galaxies from measurements of the luminosity of the brightest red giant branch stars. Five…
The very local Hubble flow
- I. Karachentsev, M. Sharina, P. Seitzer
- Physics
- 30 April 2002
We present Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 images of eighteen galaxies situated in the vicinity of the Local Group (LG) as part of an ongoing snapshot survey of nearby galaxies. Their distances derived…
The Hubble flow around the Local Group
- I. Karachentsev, O. Kashibadze, D. Makarov, R. Tully
- Physics
- 27 November 2008
We use updated data on distances and velocities of galaxies in the proximity of the Local Group (LG) in order to establish properties of the local Hubble flow. For 30 neighbouring galaxies with…
