2 Allan Sandage ( )
3 UnProgress in Measuring H o HST Factor of 2 Era Era of Percent Precision
4 Some history
5 Despite 60 years of effort, the Hubble constant was not measured to better than a factor of two
6 Solving the Twilight Zone Problem Use HST to measure Cepheids in galaxies to 20 Mpc, apply to calibrate a set of secondary distance indicators Use the secondary indicators to extend scale to 100 Mpc Twilight Zone
7 Philosophy of Key Project: Calibrate multiple methods to reduce risk of systematic errors Type Ia supernovae Tully-Fisher relation surface brightness fluctuations D n -σ relation fundamental plane
8 Cepheids
9 The Leavitt Law Leavitt (1908) Leavitt & Pickering (1912)
10 Cepheid Parameters: Optimizing Searches Cepheid amplitudes decrease with increasing λ Interstellar reddening decreases as λ 1 For detection: Cepheid searches best undertaken in the blue To minimize the effects of dust: observations best in the red Madore & Freedman (1991) HST: V and I
11 Multi-wavelength Distances Using Cepheids, HST M33 NGC 6822 A B ~1 mag I V R B A 4.5 ~ 0.01 mag WLF et al (1991) Madore et al (2009)

56 The Carnegie Hubble Project (CHP) : Summary 1. Cepheids LCO, HST, Spitzer, GAIA, JWST 2. Supernovae LCO (CSP), Spitzer 3. Mid-IRTF Spitzer, Magellan, JWST Consistent mid-infrared photometric zero point: from Milky Way through Local Group to Hubble flow. Eliminate current systematics.
57 Comparison of HST Key Project and CHP H 0 Error Budgets
58 Combining H 0 with Planck Results H 0 to ± 10% H 0 to ± 2% + SN + BAO 68 and 95% CL Freedman & Madore, Ann. Rev. 2010
59 Summary: An unprecedented decade of stability! WMAP, SHOES, CHP are all consistent with HST KP value of 73 km/s/mpc with an uncertainty of 5%. Accuracies of a few percent are now in sight. This will require independent measurements to test for robustness as done for Key Project.
