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 (SBFs) in the nearinfrared (near-IR). We show the time evolution of near-IR brightness fluctuation properties over large age and metallicity ranges, i.e. from 12 Myr to 16 Gyr and from

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

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 ...

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 ...
