Small-amplitude Red Giants Elucidate the Nature of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch as a Standard Candle
Richard Irving Anderson, Nolan Wayne Koblischke
The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) is an important standard candle for determining luminosity distances. Although several 105 small-amplitude red giant stars (SARGs) have been discovered, variability was previously considered irrelevant for the TRGB as ...
Bristol2024Standardized Luminosity of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Utilizing Multiple Fields in NGC 4258 and the CATs Algorithm
The tip of the red giant branch provides a luminous standard candle for calibrating distance ladders that reach Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) hosts. However, recent work reveals that tip measurements vary at the similar to 0.1 mag level for different stellar p ...
