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 ...

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 ...

Connecting Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances to Type Ia Supernova Hosts: Testing the Top Rung of the Distance Ladder [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We compare infrared surface brightness fluctuation (IR SBF) distances measured in galaxies that have hosted type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to distances estimated from SNe Ia light-curve fits.

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).

Inferences from Surface Brightness Fluctuations of Zwicky 3146 via the Sunyaev–Zel’dovich Effect and X-Ray Observations [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The galaxy cluster Zwicky 3146 is a sloshing cool-core cluster at z = 0.291 that in Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) imaging does not appear to exhibit significant pressure substructure in the intracluster medium.

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). III. A Catalog of Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances and the Three-dimensional Distribution of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalThe surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) method is a robust and efficient way of measuring distances to galaxies containing evolved stellar populations. Although many recent applications of the method have used space-based imaging, SBF remains a powerful

Distances from Surface Brightness Fluctuations [PDF]
, 1998 The practice of measuring galaxy distances from their spatial fluctuations in surface brightness is now a decade old. While several past articles have included some review material, this is the first intended as a comprehensive review of the surface ...

Modelling of surface brightness fluctuation measurements. Methodology, uncertainty, and recommendations [PDF]
Astronomy & AstrophysicsThe goal of this work is to scrutinise the surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) calculation methodology. We analysed the SBF derivation procedure, measured the accuracy of the fitted SBF under controlled conditions, retrieved the uncertainty ...
