Building a distance ladder with population II distance indicators

(TRGB) stars are found in all types of galaxies and are an interesting alternative for the local distance ladder towards Supernovae host galaxies. In particular, the RR Lyrae stars can be used to robustly test the accuracy of other local distance indicators within the Local Group.

Abstract

(TRGB) stars are found in all types of galaxies and are an interesting alternative for the local distance ladder towards Supernovae host galaxies. In particular, the RR Lyrae stars can be used to robustly test the accuracy of other local distance indicators within the Local Group.
