New Near-Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Models [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2005
We present new theoretical models for surface brightness fluctuations in the near-infrared. We show the time evolution of near-infrared brightness fluctuation properties over large age and metallicity ranges, i.e., from 12 Myr to 16 Gyr, and from Z/Zsun ...

The Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Hubble Constant [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2001
We measured infrared surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distances to an isotropically distributed sample of 16 distant galaxies with redshifts reaching 10,000 km s-1 using the near-IR camera and multiobject spectrometer (NICMOS) on the Hubble Space ...

Reconciliation of the Surface Brightness Fluctuation and Type Ia Supernova Distance Scales [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2001
We present Hubble Space Telescope measurements of surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distances to early-type galaxies that have hosted Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia).

Surface brightness fluctuation distances for nearby dwarf elliptical galaxies [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001
We obtained B and R-band CCD images for the dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies DDO44, UGC4998, KK98_77, DDO71, DDO113, and UGC7356 at the NOT. Using Fourier analysis technique we measure stellar R-band surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) and magnitudes in 29 different fields of the galaxies.

Cluster detection from surface-brightness fluctuations in SDSS data [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001
Galaxy clusters can be detected as surface brightness enhancements in smoothed optical surveys. This method does not require individual galaxies to be identifiable, and enables clusters to be detected out to surprisingly high redshifts, as recently ...

A synthesis of data from fundamental plane and surface brightness fluctuation surveys [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001
We perform a series of comparisons between distance-independent photometric and spectroscopic properties used in the surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) and fundamental plane (FP) methods of early-type galaxy distance estimation. The data are taken from

Anomalous surface brightness fluctuations in NGC 4489 [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001
Anomalously high K-band surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) have been reported in NGC 4489 by Pahre & Mould (1994), Jensen et al. (1996) and Jensen et al. (1998). However, these conclusions were uncertain because of relatively low signal-to-noise data. New high signal-to-noise data for NGC 4489 have been obtained at the NOAO/KPNO 2.1m and the ESO/

The Hubble Constant from Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2021
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).

Surface brightness fluctuation spectra to constrain stellar population properties [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
We present a new set of Surface Brightness Fluctuation spectra computed with the E-MILES stellar population synthesis models. The model SBF spectra cover the range 1680-50000 Angstrom at moderately high resolution, all based on extensive empirical ...
