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 sloan digital sky survey quasar catalog. - V. Seventh data release
- D. Schneider, G. Richards, D. Weinberg
- Physics
- 7 April 2010
We present the fifth edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog, which is based upon the SDSS Seventh Data Release. The catalog, which contains 105,783 spectroscopically confirmed…
The Tip of the Red Giant Branch as a Distance Indicator for Resolved Galaxies
- Myung Gyoon Lee, W. Freedman, B. Madore
- Physics
- 1 November 1993
We show that the I magnitude of the tip of the first-ascent red giant branch (TRGB) of low-mass stars is a distance indicator for resolved galaxies with metal-poor ([Fe/H]<−0.7 dex) old populations,…
The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program. VIII. An Independent Determination of the Hubble Constant Based on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch
- W. Freedman, B. Madore, M. Seibert
- PhysicsThe Astrophysical Journal
- 12 July 2019
We present a new and independent determination of the local value of the Hubble constant based on a calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) applied to Type Ia supernovae (SNeIa). We…
Chandra Multiwavelength Project X-Ray Point Source Number Counts and the Cosmic X-Ray Background
- Minsun Kim, B. Wilkes, H. Tananbaum
- Physics
- 28 November 2006
We present the Chandra Multiwavelength Project (ChaMP) X-ray point source number counts and cosmic X-ray background (CXRB) flux densities in multiple energy bands. From the ChaMP X-ray point source…
Calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch
- W. Freedman, B. Madore, J. Rich
- PhysicsThe Astrophysical Journal
- 1 June 2003
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 calibration of the TRGB…
Chandra Multiwavelength Project X‐Ray Point Source Catalog
- Minsun Kim, Dong-Woo Kim, H. Tananbaum
- Physics
- 28 November 2006
We present the Chandra Multiwavelength Project (ChaMP) X-ray point source catalog with ~6800 X-ray sources detected in 149 Chandra observations covering ~10 deg2. The full ChaMP catalog sample is 7…
Dynamics of the Globular Cluster System Associated with M87 (NGC 4486). II. Analysis
- P. Côté, D. McLaughlin, Myung Gyoon Lee
- Physics
- 31 May 2001
We present a dynamical analysis of the globular cluster system associated with M87 (=NGC 4486), the cD galaxy near the dynamical center of the Virgo Cluster. The analysis utilizes a new spectroscopic…
Determination of the Distance to M33 Based on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch and the Red Clump
- Minsun Kim, Eunhyeuk Kim, U. Concepcion
- Physics
- 29 September 2001
We have determined the distance to M33 using the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) and the red clump (RC), from the VI photometry of stars in 10 regions of M33 based on HST/WFPC2 images. The regions…
STAR FORMATION HISTORY AND CHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF THE SEXTANS DWARF SPHEROIDAL GALAXY
- Myung Gyoon Lee, I. Yuk, H. S. Park, Jason Harris, D. Zaritsky
- Physics, Geology
- 29 July 2009
We present the star formation history (SFH) and chemical evolution of the Sextans dSph galaxy as a function of a galactocentric distance. We derive these from the VI photometry of stars in the 42' ×…
