The Carnegie Hubble Program: The Leavitt Law at 3.6 μm and 4.5 μm in the large Magellanic cloud
Victoria Scowcroft,Wendy L. Freedman,Barry F. Madore,Andrew J. Monson,S. E. Persson,Mark Seibert,Jane R. Rigby,Laura Sturch +7 more
TL;DR: The Carnegie Hubble Program is designed to improve the extragalactic distance scale using data from the post-cryogenic era of Spitzer, and the ultimate goal is a determination of the Hubble constant to an accuracy of 2% as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Carnegie Hubble Program: The Leavitt Law at 3.6 \mu m and 4.5 \mu m in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Victoria Scowcroft,Wendy L. Freedman,Barry F. Madore,Andrew J. Monson,S. E. Persson,Mark Seibert,Jane R. Rigby,Laura Sturch +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, period-luminosity and period-color relations are presented for 85 LMC Cepheids, having periods between 6 and 140 days, and the cyclical variation of the [3.6]-[4.5] color is measured for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unobscured Type 2 AGNs
Yong Shi,George H. Rieke,Paul S. Smith,Jane R. Rigby,Dean C. Hines,Jennifer L. Donley,Gary D. Schmidt,Aleksandar M. Diamond-Stanic +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the parent sample is contaminated significantly by objects with broad emission lines (BELs) of strengths indicating that they actually contain intermediate-type AGNs, plus a few Compton-thick sources as revealed by extremely low ratios of X-ray to nuclear IR luminosities.
Journal ArticleDOI
THE METAL ABUNDANCES ACROSS COSMIC TIME (${ \mathcal M }{ \mathcal A }{ \mathcal C }{ \mathcal T }$) SURVEY. II. EVOLUTION OF THE MASS–METALLICITY RELATION OVER 8 BILLION YEARS, USING [O iii]λ4363 Å BASED METALLICITIES
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the weak [OIII]$\lambda$4363 emission line for 164 galaxies (66 with at least 3$\sigma$ detections, and 98 with significant upper limits).
Journal ArticleDOI
The Carnegie Hubble Program
Wendy L. Freedman,Barry F. Madore,Victoria Scowcroft,Andy Monson,S. E. Persson,Mark Seibert,Jane R. Rigby,Laura Sturch,Peter B. Stetson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an overview of and preliminary results from an ongoing comprehensive program that has a goal of determining the Hubble constant to a systematic accuracy of 2% using 3.6 micron data using the IRAC on Spitzer.
