We propose an improved comprehensive method for determining the Hubble constant ($H_0$) using the Tully-Fisher relation. By fitting a peculiar velocity model in conjunction with the Tully-Fisher relation, all available data can be used to…

The Hubble constant ($H_0$) is one of the most important parameters in the standard $\rm \Lambda CDM$ model. The measurements given by the main two methods show a gap larger than $4\sigma$, which is known as Hubble tension. Fast radio…

We use 28 Hubble parameter, $H(z)$, measurements at intermediate redshifts $0.07 \leq z \leq 2.3$ to determine the present-day Hubble constant $H_0$ in four cosmological models. We measure $H_0 = 68.3^{ +2.7}_{ -2.6 }, 68.4^{ +2.9 }_{ -3.3…

HST has so far provided Cepheid distances to nine galaxies. Although not sufficient yet to determine the distance of the extended Virgo cluster, they are decisive for the distance scale in two ways. (1) Seven of the galaxies contribute to a…

We use the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to reduce the uncertainty in the local value of the Hubble constant (H_0) from 3.3% to 2.4%. Improvements come from new, near-infrared observations of Cepheid…

This paper presents the calibration of BVRIH$ Tully-Fisher relations based on Cepheid distances to 21 galaxies within 25 Mpc, and 23 clusters within 10,000 km/s. These relations have been applied to several distant cluster surveys in order…

In this paper, we make a comprehensive determination of the Hubble constant $H_0$ by using two parameters - the B-V color and the rate of decline $\Delta m_{15}$ - to simultaneously standardize the luminosities of all nearby…
