... About ATNF overview . ... Both are consistent with earlier estimates, computed for the population of optically selected galaxies. This consistency occurs because, although the distribution of optical central surface brightnesses among galaxies is flat, we fail to find a population of galaxies with central surface brightnesses fainter than 24б  B - , even though there is no observational selection against them.

The ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series 2 . The Distance to Messier 100 as Determined by Cepheid Variable Stars . ... The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...

Constraining Galaxy Formation Epoch - Age Estimation of High Redshift Galaxies - S. Yi et al. Caltech, USA The galaxy formation epoch (z f ) is an important and unique prod- uct of cosmological models, and thus much e ort has been made to constrain it. The most direct way of constraining z f is to estimate the ages of bright elliptical galaxies at high redshifts arrucately, but it has not been an easy task. ... If we adopt our age estimate, the continuum of this galaxy suggests z f  2 { 3. ...
