A Database of Cepheid Distance Moduli and Tip of the Red Giant Branch, Globular Cluster Luminosity Function, Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function, and Surface Brightness Fluctuation Data Useful for Distance Determinations [PDF]
, 2000 We present a compilation of Cepheid distance moduli and data for four secondary distance indicators that employ stars in the old stellar populations: the planetary nebula luminosity function (PNLF), the globular cluster luminosity function (GCLF), the ...

Surface Brightness Fluctuation Distances to Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies in the Sculptor Group [PDF]
, 1998 As part of an ongoing search for dwarf elliptical galaxies (dE's) in the vicinity of the Local Group (Jerjen et al.), we acquired deep B- and R-band images for five dE candidates identified on morphological criteria in the Sculptor (Scl) group region. We

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).

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/

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 ...
