Distances to 10 Nearby Galaxies Observed with the Hubble Space Telescope

  • Published:
Astrophysics Aims and scope

Images of 10 galaxies in F814W and F606W filters obtained on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) are used to construct color-magnitude diagrams for the star population of these galaxies. The distances to the galaxies are estimated from the luminosity of the tip of the red giant branch. The galaxies examined here have radial velocities from 250 to 760 km/s relative to the centroid of the Local Group and distances ranging from 3.7 to 13.0 Mpc. Several other observed galaxies with low radial velocities are noted at distances beyond the limit of 13 Mpc.
