A New Calibration Of Galactic Cepheid Period-Luminosity Relations From B To K Bands, And A Comparison To LMC Relations (2007, methodology): “The small isophotal wavelength differences between SAAO and 2MASS systems do not explain the difference in infrared total-to-selective absorption ratios between Fouqué et al. (2003), adopted from LS93, and the present work.”
New Period-Luminosity and Period-Color relations of classical Cepheids: I. Cepheids in the Galaxy (2003, background): “Also the amplitude-color relations change their behavior near logP = 1.0 (Kanbur & Ngeow 2002).”
The Peculiar SN 2005hk: Do Some Type Ia Supernovae Explode as Deflagrations? (2006, background): “Such “delayed detonation” models have been shown to reproduce the general observational characteristics of typical SNe Ia (e.g., see Höflich et al. 2003), although these results await confirmation from detailed three-dimensional (3D) modeling.”
The Vertical Structure of Warm Ionised Gas in the Milky Way (2008, methodology): “We assume distances to the LMC and SMC of 50 and 61 kpc, respectively (Walker 2003; Alves 2004, and references therein).”
From star clusters to dwarf galaxies: the properties of dynamically hot stellar systems (2008, methodology): “We differentiate the MCOs by the way their dynamical masses were estimated: For the 19 MCOs listed in Tab.”
