Semi-regular red giants as distance indicators I. The period-luminosity relations of semi-regular variables revisited [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 Context. Semi-regular variables (SRVs) are similar to Miras in brightness, and they also follow one or more period–luminosity relations (PLRs), though not necessarily the same one as Miras.

Miras as a distance indicator in the CSST, JWST, and Gaia era
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Mira variables are important distance indicators owing to the clear period–luminosity relation at infrared wavelengths. We have compiled a sample of 343 Galactic Miras selected from the American Association of Variable Star Observers database and Gaia ...

RR Lyrae and Type II Cepheid Variables in Globular Clusters: Optical and Infrared Properties
Universe, 2022 Globular clusters are both primary fossils of galactic evolution and formation and are ideal laboratories for constraining the evolution of low-mass and metal-poor stars.

Improving sampling and calibration of GRBs as distance indicators [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 We present a sample of 74 Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) from the Fermi-GBM catalogue for which we compute the distance moduli and use them to constrain effective dark energy models.

Investigating the Relationship Between Urban form and Energy Consumption in Urban Settlements (Case Study: Qazvin City) [PDF]
برنامهریزی توسعه شهری و منطقهای, 2022 Due to global warming, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, and people's dependence on private cars, the need for more attention from urban experts to the impact of urban form indicators and economic and social indicators on energy consumption and ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) is an apparent discontinuity of the luminosity function (LF) due to the end of the red giant evolutionary phase and is used to measure distances in the local universe.

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Given the recent successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, determining robust calibrations of the slopes and absolute magnitudes of the near- to mid-infrared tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB) will be essential to measuring precise ...

Type II supernovae as distance indicators at near-IR wavelengths [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 Motivated by the advantages of observing at near-IR wavelengths, we investigate Type II supernovae (SNe II) as distance indicators at those wavelengths through the Photospheric Magnitude Method (PMM).

Quantifying Uncertainties on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present an extensive grid of numerical simulations quantifying the uncertainties in measurements of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB). These simulations incorporate a luminosity function composed of 2 mag of red giant branch (RGB) stars leading ...
