Milky Way Cepheid Standards for Measuring Cosmic Distances and Application to Gaia DR2: Implications for the Hubble Constant
- A. Riess, S. Casertano, Richard I. Anderson
- PhysicsThe Astrophysical Journal
- 27 April 2018
We present HST photometry of a selected sample of 50 long-period, low-extinction Milky Way Cepheids measured on the same WFC3 F555W, F814W, and F160W-band photometric system as extragalactic Cepheids…
New Parallaxes of Galactic Cepheids from Spatially Scanning the Hubble Space Telescope: Implications for the Hubble Constant
- A. Riess, S. Casertano, B. Tucker
- Physics
- 3 January 2018
We present new parallax measurements of 7 long-period (> 10 days) Milky Way Cepheids (SS CMa, XY Car, VY Car, VX Per, WZ Sgr, X Pup and S Vul) using astrometry from spatial scanning of WFC3 on HST.…
The Frontier Fields: Survey Design and Initial Results
- J. Lotz, A. Koekemoer, M. Mountain
- Physics, Geology
- 21 May 2016
What are the faintest distant galaxies we can see with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) now, before the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope? This is the challenge taken up by the Frontier…
A Massive Cluster of Red Supergiants at the Base of the Scutum-Crux Arm
- B. Davies, D. Figer, R. Kudritzki, J. MacKenty, F. Najarro, A. Herrero
- Physics
- 6 August 2007
We report on the unprecedented red supergiant (RSG) population of a massive young cluster, located at the base of the Scutum-Crux Galactic arm. We identify candidate cluster RSGs based on 2MASS…
Discovery of an extraordinarily massive cluster of red supergiants
- D. Figer, J. MacKenty, A. Herrero
- Physics
- 7 February 2006
We report the discovery of an extraordinarily massive young cluster of stars in the Galaxy, having an inferred total initial cluster mass comparable to the most massive young clusters in the Galaxy.…
The Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 Early Release Science Data: Panchromatic Faint Object Counts for 0.2-2 μm Wavelength
- R. Windhorst, Seth H. Cohen, E. Young
- Physics
- 16 May 2010
We describe the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) Early Release Science (ERS) observations in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) South field. The new WFC3 ERS…
Wide Field Camera 3: a powerful new imager for the Hubble Space Telescope
- R. Kimble, J. MacKenty, R. O’Connell, J. Townsend
- PhysicsAstronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
- 12 July 2008
Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) is a powerful UV/visible/near-infrared camera that has just completed development for installation into the Hubble Space Telescope during upcoming Servicing Mission 4. WFC3…
The Cool Supergiant Population of the Massive Young Star Cluster RSGC1
- B. Davies, D. Figer, J. MacKenty
- Physics
- 29 November 2007
We present new high-resolution near-IR spectroscopy and OH maser observations to investigate the population of cool luminous stars of the young massive Galactic cluster RSGC1. Using the 2.293 μm CO…
The Young Stellar Population of NGC 4214 as Observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. II. Results
- L. Úbeda, J. Ma'iz-Apell'aniz, J. MacKenty
- Physics
- 26 January 2007
We present the results of a detailed UV-optical study of the nearby dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 4214 using multifilter Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 and STIS photometry. The stellar extinction is found…
