In an attempt to use Cepheid variables to determine the distance to the Centaurus cluster, we have obtained images of NGC 4603 with the Hubble Space Telescope on 9 epochs using WFPC2 and the F555W...

The HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. XV. A Cepheid Distance to the Fornax Cluster and Its Implications (1998)

Madore, Barry F., Freedman, Wendy L., Silbermann, N., Harding, Paul, Huchra, John, Mould, Jeremy, ...

Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) 37 long-period Cepheid variables have been discovered in the Fornax Cluster spiral galaxy NGC 1365. The resulting V and I period-luminosity relations yield a...

A 3D Treatment of Radiative Transfer: Including Multi-wavelength Scattering; Absorption and Far Infrared Emission; and Arbitrary Geometry (1998)

Trewhella, Matthew, Madore, Barry F., Kuchinski, Leslie

We have developed a new model that uses a cellular approach to calculate radiative transfer of starlight through dusty media. The model is designed to be user friendly enough to be distributed as a...

The HST Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale XVII. The Cepheid Distance to NGC 4725 (1998)

Gibson, Brad K., Hughes, Shaun M. G., Stetson, Peter B., Freedman, Wendy L., Kennicutt, Robert C., ...

The distance to NGC 4725 has been derived from Cepheid variables, as part of the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project on the Extragalactic Distance Scale. Thirteen F555W (V) and four F814W (I) epochs...

Cepheid and Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distances To the Dwarf Irregular Galaxy IC10 (1998)

Sakai, Shoko, Madore, Barry F., Freedman, Wendy L.

We present color-magnitude diagrams and luminosity functions of stars in the nearby galaxy IC 10, based on VI CCD photometry acquired with the COSMIC prime-focus camera on the Palomar 5m telescope....

Ferrarese, Laura, Bresolin, Fabio, Kennicutt, Robert C., Saha, Abhijit, Stetson, Peter B., ...

We report the detection of Cepheids and a new distance to the spiral galaxy NGC 2541, based on data obtained with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). A...

The Hubble Space Telescope Extragalactic Distance Scale Key Project. X. The Cepheid Distance to NGC 7331 (1998)

Han, Mingsheng, Hoessel, John, Freedman, Wendy L., Kennicutt, Robert C., Mould, Jeremy. R., ...

The distance to NGC 7331 has been derived from Cepheid variables observed with HST/WFPC2, as part of the Extragalactic Distance Scale Key Project. Multi-epoch exposures in F555W (V) and F814W (I),...

The Hubble Space Telescope Key Project to Measure the Hubble Constant (1998)

Freedman, Wendy L., Mould, Jeremy R., Kennicutt, Robert C., Madore, Barry F.

A review of the Hubble Space Telescope H0 Key Project is given, as presented at the IAU Symposium 183 on "Cosmological Parameters" held in Kyoto, Japan in August, 1997. An outline of the goals and...

Hipparcos Parallaxes and the Cepheid Distance Scale (1997)

Madore, Barry F., Freedman, Wendy L.

Hipparcos parallaxes have recently become available for a sample of Galactic Cepheids, and we have used these new distances to calibrate the Cepheid period-luminosity (PL) relation at six wavelengths...

The Extragalactic Distance Scale Key Project VIII. The Discovery of Cepheids and a New Distance to NGC 3621 Using the Hubble Space Telescope (1997)

Rawson, Daya M., Macri, Lucas M., Mould, Jeremy R., Huchra, John P., Freedman, Wendy L., Kennicutt, Robert C., ...

We report on the discovery of Cepheids in the field spiral galaxy NGC 3621, based on observations made with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). NGC 3621...

Ultraviolet Signatures of Tidal Interaction in the Giant Spiral Galaxy, M101 (1996)

Waller, William H., Bohlin, Ralph C., Cornett, Robert H., Fanelli, Michael N., Freedman, Wendy L., Hill, Jesse K., ...
