The Hubble Constant from Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances* [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract We present a measurement of the Hubble constant H 0 from surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distances for 63 bright, mainly early-type galaxies out to 100 Mpc observed with the WFC3/IR on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

New Optical and Near-Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Models. II. Young and Intermediate-Age Stellar Populations [PDF]
, 2005 We present theoretical surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) amplitudes for single-burst stellar populations of young and intermediate age (25 Myr ≤ t ≤ 5 Gyr) and metallicities Z = 0.0003, 0.001, 0.004, 0.008, 0.01, 0.02, and 0.04.

Surface Brightness Fluctuations of Fornax Cluster Galaxies: Calibration of Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuations and Evidence for Recent Star Formation [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2002 We have measured K-band surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) of 19 early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster. Combining our results with published data, we find the absolute SBF magnitude Mbar_K = (-5.84)+(3.6)*[(V-I)-1.15]. The intrinsic cosmic scatter of Mbar_K appears to be larger than that of I-band SBFs.

Surface Brightness Fluctuations: a theoretical point of view
, 2002 We present new theoretical evaluations of optical and near-IR Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) magnitudes for single-burst stellar populations in the age range t=5-15 Gyr and metallicity from $Z_{\sun}/200$ to $2Z_{\sun}$. Our theoretical predictions can be successfully used to derive reliable distance evaluations. They also appear to be a new and

Testing the surface brightness fluctuation method on dwarf galaxies in the COSMOS field [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT Dwarf galaxies are important tracers of small-scale cosmological structure, yet much of our knowledge about these systems comes from the limited sample of dwarf galaxies within the Local Group. To make a comprehensive inventory of dwarf populations in the local Universe, we require effective methods for deriving distance ...

The Distance to the Coma Cluster from Surface Brightness Fluctuations
The Astrophysical Journal, 1997 We report on the first determination of the distance to the Coma Cluster based on surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) measurements obtained from Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 observations of the bright E0 galaxy NGC 4881 in the Coma Cluster and ground-based observations of the standard E1 galaxy NGC 3379 in the Leo-I group.
