We present here the final results of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Key Project to measure the Hubble constant. We summarize our method, the results, and the uncertainties, tabulate our revised…
The Hubble Space Telescope Extragalactic Distance Scale Key Project. 1: The discovery of Cepheids and a new distance to M81
- W. Freedman, S. Hughes, G. Illingworth
- Physics
- 1 June 1994
We report on the discovery of 30 new Cepheids in the nearby galaxy M81 based on observations using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The periods of these Cepheids lie in the range of 10-55 days,…
The Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. XXVIII. Combining the Constraints on the Hubble Constant
- J. Mould, J. Huchra, P. Stetson
- Physics
- 15 September 1999
Since the launch of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) 9 yr ago, Cepheid distances to 25 galaxies have been determined for the purpose of calibrating secondary distance indicators. Eighteen of these have…

- J. Bernard, W. Reach, D. Zaritsky
- PhysicsProceedings of the International Astronomical…
- 1 June 2005
The goal of this paper is to present the results of a preliminary analysis of the extended infrared (IR) emission by dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We…
THE PERFORMANCE AND CALIBRATION OF WFPC2 ON THE HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE
- J. Holtzman, J. Hester, J. Westphal
- Physics
- 1 February 1995
The WFPC2 was installed in the Hubble Space Telesocpe (HST) in December 1993. Since then, the instrument has been providing high quality images. A significant amount of calibration data has been…
The Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. XXIV. The Calibration of Tully-Fisher Relations and the Value of the Hubble Constant
- S. Sakai, J. Mould, P. Stetson
- Physics
- 15 September 1999
This paper presents the calibration of BVRIH-0.5 Tully-Fisher relations based on Cepheid distances to 21 galaxies within 25 Mpc and 23 clusters within 10,000 km s-1. These relations have been applied…
The 1000 Brightest HIPASS Galaxies: H I Properties
- B. Koribalski, L. Staveley-Smith, A. Wright
- Physics
- 22 April 2004
The HIPASS Bright Galaxy Catalog is presented, which contains the 1000 H I brightest galaxies in the southern sky as obtained from the H i Parkes All-Sky Survey, and several new structures are seen for the first time.
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of the Disk and Jet of HH 30
- C. Burrows, K. Stapelfeldt, J. Westphal
- Physics
- 10 December 1996
HH 30 in Taurus has been imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2. The images show in reflected light a flared disk with a radius of about 250 AU that obscures the protostar. The disk resembles…
The HI Parkes All Sky Survey: southern observations, calibration and robust imaging
- D. Barnes, L. Staveley-Smith, T. Ye
- Physics
- 11 April 2001
The acquisition of HI Parkes All Shy Survey (HIPASS) southern sky data commenced at the Australia Telescope National Facility's Parkes 64-m telescope in 1997 February, and was completed in 2000…
WFPC2 Studies of the Crab Nebula. I. HST and ROSAT Imaging of the Synchrotron Nebula
- J. Hester, P. Scowen, J. Westphal
- Physics
- 20 July 1995
We present images of the Crab synchrotron nebula obtained with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) on board the Hubble Space Telescope. These data are compared with ROSAT HRI images, and…
