Simulations of the Brightest Stars in Galaxies as Distance Indicators
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
The brightest stars in galaxies have been often considered useful as distance indicators. However, one may expect that the absolute magnitude of the brightest stars in galaxies should depend on the IMF and on the present SFR, and that statistical effects may be important, although different in different photometric bands, due to the different numbers of objects effectively sampled.
